Our last day backpacking in Paris was kind of uneventful and a little sad; no one really wanted to leave. Hiking around Paris was a lot of fun, but I definitely wasn’t looking forward to having to sit on a train for so long, up to 3 hours. Even though everyone was a little sad we sucked it up and set out to find our way to the Paris Gare Lyon train station.
It actually took us 3 hours and 20 minutes to get from the Paris Gare Lyon train station to the Marseille St. Charles train station. We decided to leave at 7:00 a.m. so we would have plenty of time to nap on the train. That way, we’d feel refreshed when we’d walk through the botanical gardens later on. The train went super fast and the ride felt smooth and quiet. I read in a pamphlet that the train can go up to 200 miles per hour! When Monica looked out the window she got a little sick, I couldn’t blame her because everything we passed looked really blurry outside. Even though it was more than 3 hours it didn’t seem so; it felt like it only took half the time.
