We had a
lovely evening in Limoges. We stayed at the Ibis Budget hotel which had
everything we needed. We ate at La Baliele Bleu (The Blue Whale) just down the
road. Seafood salad to share as a starter then Brian had a pork mixed grill and
I had vegetable taglietelle. Creme brulee for Brian and espresso for me, wine,
beer and water, a nice meal, reasonably priced.
After
breakfast I walked the five minutes to the train station to get the intercity
to Paris Austerlitz. My reserved seat was at the back of the train but behind
was a large area where I left my bag. It needed a label with my name and
destination so I set about trying to make one. The train was comfortable and
cool.
I worked
a bit and slept a bit on the train, which arrived at Paris Austerlitz a few
minutes early, giving me the confidence to take the metro. The journey was a
bit hairy just because I couldn't remember which lines to take. I very quickly
realised I needed to ask and got a much better route than I had planned. After
many stairs, escalators and moving walkways I arrived at platform 4 for the TGV
to Rennes with about 6 minutes to spare!
