Marc's Public Blog - Trips to other locations

Since then, I had wondered how it had changed, and figured Jennifer might enjoy it, so we went just after Xmas (thankfully they had english translators earbuds for most shows).

Getting there was very convenient. A TGV gets you right there, you walk across a bridge, and you're in the park. Couldn't have been easier. The weather wasn't fantastic, but that also meant manageable lines, which was good.

We did most of the park the first day, and finished it the next morning where we took a bit more time since our train wasn't going to leave before 13:30 no matter what :)
While I thought the park had a bit too many Imax/Omnimax movies (6 different ones), we still had a good time.

Below are some pictures:

Views of the park:

Random atractions:

I got the most points shooting in the entire room in that game :)

The evening show was actually quite good. Almost as good was World of Color in Disneyworld California:

After the first night, we were able to walk to our hotel, come back the next morning, finish the park well in time for taking the earlier train back home.

For just $100, you can drive these for 20mn, but doing so in Paris is kind of futile...

Toyota:

nice sim

Renault had a nice prototype on display:

Citroën still had their multiple time WRC winner rally car:

Mercedes:

Peugeot also had a non working prototype, like Renault:

looks nice, but worthless if not for sale

nice Xmas tree :)

Louis Vuiton is happy to sell you simple handbags for as many thousand euros you're willing to pay

We then walked by the little Xmas houses (think winter wine and art festival):

Macaroons! :)

Piggie :)

Chocolate tools and gears

Made it to the end, time to turn around

going nowhere, fast

and we walked all the way back from l'obelisk to the arc the triomphe, time to go home

While there, we also went to see car displays, with went on its own page.

A few days later, we went to visit le Marais, which I actually had never seen before. We stopped by a fair amount of little stores, which my dad loves doing:

Started from centre pompidou, with a silly long line we avoided

awesome scenes from top french movies

that is an inventive bakery :)

Place des Vosges, which I had never seen

House of Victor Hugo

more stores

more chocolats

A couple of pictures from Auchan:

And before going home, we went to la Villette, citée des sciences et de l'industrie with special expo on Léonard de Vinci

an actual flying RC bird

Léonard had thought about it, just didn't have the technology back then

And this is it for Paris this year. Not a whole lot, but I've already posted a lot of pictures in the past.
