Paris - Vienne

We found it interesting that train platforms are only announced about 15 minutes before the train departs. Passengers stand under the display and then all rush off when the number shows on the board. It does make for good crowd control.

Change of arrangements this time – we printed out tickets, but it wasn't the ticket – as we had done in the past. Last minute rush around to get a real ticket printed.

Two hours to Lyon then a change to Vienne which took 20 minutes. We are staying in a small, old hotel, maybe coaching inn looking at the doors on the outside, with good facilities and external “venetian” blinds. They look great from the street on this building. We wonder if they would work at our house?

In Vienne it was 30° so we had a slow walk around town keeping to the shady side of the street.
