This weekend we will be in Paris as our niece has her birthday. We will be having a great party as she is turning 3. My wife was already there, as she traveled from Munich with the TGV and I had to travel by myself with the car. Flight was out of the question as I was in a meeting which end was not foreseeable and the location was somewhere in central Germany, where you don’t have any big cities in a radius of 60 km.
So after the meeting finished I got on some empty highways where I could speed so much I wanted.
Don't do this at home, especially as in Germany is legal to drive with 200kmh and in other countries not
The joy did not lost for long as I encountered a highway block. After the 2nd block, I already had enough, so knowing that France has very expensive highways tolls I decided to not drive on them an enjoy the scenery. So therefore I checked google maps and it was only one half hour driving time more.
If not speeding this is an almost standard view
I entered Belgium. Not so much traffic as in Germany, and the first km everything is in 3 languages, French, German and Flemish which I enjoyed seeing.
I got out of the highway at the exit “Bonne Fortune” which means good fortune. It must be good ;)
I enjoyed the scenery, seeing some castles, and a region with a lot of lakes, where a stop was mandatory
Old villages with their palaces
Then I entered France
France has a charm of itself. Even if there are not so well taken care of as in Germany and Belgium, the houses have their special flavor.
I wanted another break, so I stopped at this abandoned windmill. Just enjoyed it.
At last I arrived in Paris, later than expected but relaxed and happy.
As I’ve not seen my wife for 4 day, we took a walk on the banks of the Marne to enjoy ourselves.
I am wandering what was the engine speed at 200 km/h :)
About 4700 rpm in D7(automatic)
Enjoy Paris!
Thank you, we do ;)
