There has been another "nuit Blanche"here in Paris. I did not know it, but at church this morning, at the early service, it was mentioned. It appeared to me that the attendance was down- the night is an opportunity to visit lots of free events, all night if you want to.
But we did go down to Paris that night. It is our last weekend together and the best opportunity to celebrate the birthday that is soon to happen. So we ate out and then visited the Jazz Club near Montparnasse. Indeed we were out late just because of that. We caught the last fast train home and I wondered at the number of Parisians who crowded the train. I assumed this was normal weekend traffic at the time.
So today there was still lots of people about. On our walk back to the train station we passed dozens of coaches all parked in one street. Posters in the windows of some if these proclaimed a march for families. Details were unclear but it appeared that hundreds of people had arrived to make a difference.
The difference we noticed was that the temperature had dropped dramatically so we dived into the train station and headed home to warm up.
