I initially posted about whether to see or skip Mont St Michel (MSM) when I initially was going to do it as a day trip from Paris. My friend and I since realised we could travel to Rennes and hire a car to drive to MSM and stay there overnight so as to see it outside of the peak tourist hours (noting it will otherwise still be busy but le...

Trying to take care of all potential time-wasters here rather than upon arrival t CDG end of September. So the Navigo pass states that a "1 1/4" x 1"" picture is required. An extra passport photo might be ok if I were to trim away all the hair around my head, otherwise it's a bit too big, same for my husband. Ideally, am looking for those phot... Read More

Hi Fodor’s I’m presently in Paris and wasn’t initially planning on doing a trip report as I didn’t think I was doing anything particularly novel and mostly otherwise was visiting friends. It’s my 5th time in Paris although the last time I will admit was 31 years ago when I was ready to move to the City of Light, so much for as I smitten.... Read More

The plan is to head back to London in the Spring. We will be taking my sister with us who has never been to London. I am thinking of one or two days outside London…maybe 2 hours by train at the most.

But then along came Omicron, sending Austria int... Read More

I am planning to fly from Porto to Toulouse however I have noticed that there are very few and far between direct flights between the two. I saw that a few airlines offer Porto - Toulouse via Madrid however it would mean either a very short layover that I am not willing to chance (a 45 minute self-managed layover) or a tiringly long layover....
