The missus was on a flight out of Orly yesterday. It was like Def Con 2 there. One of the travelling party is a diabetic and had all her letters etc with her but still took the guts of an hour to get through security and explain need for sugary drinks etc.
Funnily enough she said two big immigration officers met the plane at the door and inspected all passports before people disembarked.
Your gym work must be paying dividends pal.
Many years ago, only days before Christmas, a French work colleague took a few of us for long drive through Paris.
Round the Arc and down the Champs Elysee at nighttime is just iconic. One of the best tourist trips I have ever had.
