Leaving Paris

That's right. I'm sad to say it but this week we are packing up and leaving the City of Lights.
Our lease runs out on Friday and, not having heard back about the job that Stu has applied for in Toulouse, we have decided to head down south for a while.
We somehow managed to get first class TGV tickets to Lyon for cheaper than second class ones so we will at least be travelling in style.
We are going to spend a few days in Lyon, which, even more than Paris, is a foodie paradise. It seems to be a bit cheaper than Paris as well. We both love Lyon so it should be a fun few days.
After that, we are heading further south by 70km to Annonay, my AFS town. We'll be staying with friends there, which will be a great chance to practise our French. We'll also get to catch up with my host family and hopefully sample some of the delicacies from their bakery. Leaving Paris will have some advantages!
So now we have just over 3 days to tick off the remaining things on our Paris to-do list, and to reconcile ourselves to leaving this great city which has been our home for the last 3 months.
