ユーロスターに乗って、一路パリへ。
例の友人も一緒の列車に乗って、到着駅のホームで待ち合わせ。
凱旋門、シャンゼリゼ通り、エッフェル塔。
子供たちは教科書でしか見たことのない光景だけれど、
その歴史を学んでいるせいか、とても関心度が高いことに驚いてしまう。
友人が予約してくれていた地元で人気のビストロで夕食。
向かいには、ニューヨークでも人気のスカートステーキの本店が。
ロンドンに比べるとずっと心地良い気候、夜道を散歩して帰路につく。
We took the Eurostar train to Paris.
My friend was on the same train and met at the arrival station platform.
The Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Elysées, and the Eiffel Tower.
The kids have only seen these sights in textbooks,
I was surprised at their high interest in the city, perhaps because they are learning its history.
We had dinner at a popular local bistro that a friend had reserved for us.
Across the street is the main restaurant of Skirt Steak, which is also popular in New York.
The weather was much more pleasant than in London, and we walked along the streets at night before heading to the hotel.
