Caught the RER train in from the airport - shows how poor Melbourne has been at implementing necessary infrastructure. Trip in through gritty graffiti-ed decaying manufacturing belt no that different from the train trip through Footscray.
Got off at Luxembourg and walked to our hotel via the Luxemburg Gardens. We are staying in the 6th Arrondissement which is just gorgeous in the Paris spring sunshine.
