We brought in the New Year in Paris. A dream come true. But we’re only here until spring. Our mooring contract ends at the end of April. All we know now is we’ll start our cruising season on the Marne. We are told it’s lovely. We don’t know how far we’ll get as we plan to attend the DBA Rally in Auxerre in mid-July. It’s a bit ironic that we will have been moored metres from Place de la Bastille for more than six months but won’t be here for Bastille Day. Some consolation… It’s not called Bastille Day in France. It’s La Fête Nationale. Maybe that will make it easier to miss.
