After an uneventful flight YYZ to CDG, we arrived at the baggage carousel to find that Paul's luggage has gone missing! After a cat and mouse game all day of promised deliveries to our apartment, a definitive call at 8pm has informed us that there will be NO luggage tonight. I don't understand it - as they can't even seem to FIND it... Itr's not like they know it's on it's way to Mexico City or something.... it just seems to have vanished! I am now skeptical that we will ever see it. If there is any good news, between Desjardin insurance and Air France, we can spend up to $600 immediately to replace items - but it's not how we intended on spending the day :-(
We have taken a most agreeable apartment in the 17th, right on Rue Poncelette. There is a famous foodie's paradise market right on the street (more in another blog), and we are just a stone's throw from the Arc du Triomphe and Ternes metro stop. The apartment is bright and quiet (faces a courtyard on both sides!) which allows for a cross breeze. It is nicely furnished and the bed is comfy.
I'm really wiped today after the flight and all the anxiety over the luggage, so just a short note to everyone to let you all know that we have arrived safe & sound albeit short a piece of luggage!
It was sunny and 20C here today - Beautiful weather in a beautiful city!
Glad to hear you are safe and sound; bummer re: the luggage!! My condolences to Paul...c'est la vie...$600 worth of French clothes won't go far, but it's better than nothing...looks like a nice place...as always, I wish I was there...
ReplyDeleteThe apartment is terrific - and $600 is better than nothing! I received a call at 7am saying it would be delivered between 10 and 2 - so we have to stay in the apartment ruining the best part of the day - but best get the luggage!
