The Journey...(1)

I had a week in France in the Franche-Comté region and as usual, the trajectory starts from CDG to Gare de Lyon to Besançon... 

 Le Train Bleu, a fancy upper-market restaurant without Michelin stars at the Gare de Lyon, but costing like one...

 Old fashioned clock at the train station - still another 2 and a half hours to burn...

 Many pigeons live in the streets of Paris, this one came perching on the information booth and stared down at the voyagers...

Permutations of colours from end of summer: the Burgundy landscape was dotted with harvested fields waiting for the plough and autumnal rains...

I was lucky to be given a MAS ticket because the pilots of Air France are having a full-throttled strike lasting for more than a week.
