Thanks to all the team which allowed me to arrive at the term of this long "work": Cécile (8ans) for the first... Lines, Sarah (for the major part of the editorial staff), Elsa (for the striking(typing)) and Sylvie for the final second reading.
6.20: we arrived at Orly under rainy and chilly time. One is then going to get back the car reserved since Reunion and one realizes that, as previous time, there is a seat of excess
: on the spot, regrettably, we can not solve the problem and we should go to Citroën Champ de Mars to try to find a solution, otherwise a problem of place will settle(arise) quickly for luggage (how manage to accommodate all these bags and suitcases especially at the end of our stay, after all our purchases!!).
Having arrived at the indicated address, another problem: Citroën's seat is always called Field of March but it is in fact near the station Saint-Lazare! We ran(drove) so a lot. Then it was necessary to find the hotel, what was not a small matter. After a fast lunch in Mac Do (in front of the station of the North) where dad, faithful to his principles did not want to put feet and preferred to go to buy itself a better sandwich, we pass in the hotel to take a little of rest (after the testing night crossed(spent) in the plane). We go then to Lucette, Sarah's tatie and Elsa: she(it) lives in the district " sri lankais ", near the subway station The Chapel.
At 17 o'clock, we decide to go to the Forum of the Halle, accompanied and driven(guided) by Liliane and Béatrice, the cousins, who show us their perfect knowledge of corridors of the subway and introduce us to the gym of the clearing of wickets. Sarah found all her books(pounds) (to study before the comeback to Louis Le Grand or Ste Geneviève, she is not still totally decided) and mom bought me clothes and sporting shoes (cortez...).
Then in the evening we eat at Lucette before returning to the hotel (without Sarah and Elsa who stayed at their tatie). Difficult to find a parking space near the hotel, especially if the guard wants that one leaves keys on the car!!!
Today it is not raining but the sun plays hide-and-seek. After the breakfast in the hotel, we fetch Sarah and Elsa. Direction(management) then the Latin District at the secondary school Louis le Grand to see if Sarah will have a place to the boarding school. We also saw the Pantheon and "the place of the Big Men": we sit on walking(stairs) but we saw coming neither Marco, nor François, nor Laurence, nor Marion...
Then it is in the park Astérix that we make (highway A1 direction(management) Lille for those that do not know): really brilliant, especially that the park was empty and the short lines, at the most 1/4 a hour while to Disney it was necessary to wait often more than one hour. One made(did) full full height of arenas: Descent of the Styx, flight(theft) of Icare, boat pirates, the track of Hurrah and especially Goudurix and Zeus's thunder where mom "almost died": I my heart has " chappé " ("fallen" for those that do not know the Creole). In the evening we eat still at Lucette and we return to the hotel at about 22. 30.
As yesterday morning, one fetches Sarah and Elsa. But this time this one decides to go to Beaubourg, to the centre Georges Pompidou with Michel E, the husband of Lucette. It rained so that one has of the bought of umbrellas. To the museum of modern art, I saw " the girl in hoops " of Picasso, tables(pictures) very in Bracque's colours, " the arena of pigs " of Delaunay etc. Sculptures were rather bizarre and certain tables (pictures), the monochrome notably, left us perplexed. There was also an exhibition of goods(articles) "spring design where I bought the pad grace(favour) which I can tell you my holidays.
We lost Michel E. along the way and he stayed in the museum while we were again in the Halle. At 17 o'clock we were back at Lucette and Michel E. had not always returned. In fact he arrived just little before the meal and had crossed(spent) all its(his) afternoon in the centre Pompidou. At 21 o'clock we went, without Elsa who was tired, at feet of a twinkling Eiffel Tower to be able to admire the fireworks of July 14. The spectacle pyrotechnique (which complicated name, to us one calls that a fireworks) accompanied with Charles Trenet's songs was magnificent. J ' was a little tired as well as Matthieu who saw nothing practically and who was always turned to dad and the Eiffel Tower. The return was difficult and I believed that I was going to suffocate(suppress) in the crowd which hurried up in front of the metro entrance. In more people big firecrackers almost everywhere made burst. We arrived to Lucette at midnight and I remained to sleep over there with Sarah and Elsa. Indeed, one had of to change hotel and there was not enough place for me. Dad said that he would never return in this hotel: BELTA, too dear and not comfortable.
This morning Lucette, Liliane and Béatrice took the train early for Fribourg. Michel E. having to joined them later. Dad and mom came to look for us at 9 o'clock and we take the highway A6 to go to Feurs.
Dad finds with a not hidden pleasure the enjoyments of the manipulation of the buttons of the remote control, situated on the steering wheel, what allows him(her) to channel-flick very (too much in our taste) easily: it is all the same necessary to clarify that we had not planned to have a reader CD and we did not bring our favourite titles: the only one Cécile travelled with the 2 CD that dad had engraved(burnt) just before coming. At the end of 310 km one stops(arrests) in Beaune's area to eat. One resumes the road at 14 o'clock but one passes by routes twice to avoid announced corks on " Radio highway ". One arrived at Feurs at 16. 30, just for the snack and we found the delicious syrup of grandma's black currant. One then went to put down(deposit) our business(cases) in the small house where tatan Laurence put down(deposited) his(her) beautiful lounge(show). The evening we eat at grandpa's and grandma before returning to the small house to sleep us.
This morning we all woke up at 8 o'clock and as every morning we have breakfast. After that, to shape, dad is going to make(do) his jogging of the Small house until Feurs.
We so joined him(it) at grandma's for the lunch. In the afternoon everybody went to Crossroads except Matthieu and I which(who) stayed to make(do) of the swing. Now I know how to hesitate alone, without that one pushes me. Mom bought us exercise books of holidays and one made(did) a dictation. We are also past in the post office to buy stamps and I wrote to Alice, my best friend. Then after a good meal we return to the small house at 21 o'clock.
This morning one all got up early to go to Feurs's market. Eh yes one is already on Tuesday! Sylvie bought, as two years ago, laguioles. But in 200f 30 details(rooms) one can doubt their authenticity. One also bought fruits: apricots, melons, nectarines, strawberries; candies and flowers for grandma. At about 10. 30 Dad, Cécile and Matthieu returned at Grandpa's and Grandma and Sylvie, Yassine Elsa and me sums going to the other part(party) of the market (clothes and bags).
In the afternoon, Sylvie went to the hairdresser and Elsa and me sums gone to walk us. Cécile and Matthieu played a lot the swing and as the rope wore out very fast dad repaired him(it). Then they worked while Yassine played Game boy and while Dad looked at the Tour of France. As soon as Sylvie returned, Elsa and I sums at once left(restarted) with her(it) in Crossroads. In our return, I settled down in front of the television with Cécile to encourage Laurent Roux and Jan Ullrich but it is Lance Armstrong which took finally away(gained finally ) the stage of the Alpine pasture of , please , Huez.
In the afternoon, Dad cycled. But not being as good as Armstrong or as Ullrich, it fell by making(doing) a beautiful caper and it was hurt in... The ear: in fact the cycle was a little bit old and brakes did not answer any more very well.
We returned to the small house at about 21 o'clock and I made(did) Cécile's photos, then Dad discussed with the neighbour while Cécile and I observed the septic tank of a little closer: one had just just realized that she(it) was outdoors!
