They lit the eiffel tower for them

The perfect ending



Pizza on the left bank.  Clown as street entertainer for kids.  Wine for adults.

Picture



it will be nice to use something other than a phone!...picture didn't upload before so here is another go.

Paris


We made it!

Inspirational jenny



We bumped into a scout group who were looking to ride the avenue verte next year.  So, they stopped us, took a photo and gave a little speech including how inspirational the kids were with jenny getting a special mention.

We're now off route (no surprise there) but a french man in a duffel coat pulling a trailer had set us right.

To celebrate we've stooped for a break :-)

Refuel before the big day



Excitement at breakfast..finishing post in sight.

Kids have been fantastic all trip.  there optimism that we've only got 3 hours to go is touching.  Yesterday was 10 hours for 30 miles...22 miles today :-)

Weather looking good.  Smiles all round.

Perhaps the pain au chocolat, hot chocolate, coco pops,... has helped!
