Drome to Paris, France on the Rail

It has been a long day but I am in my Jr. Suite looking up at the Eiffel Tower thanks to my friends at Hilton. It is strange being in such modern accommodations after spending the last few surrounded by hallowed and wonderful walls but modern right now works great. It has been tough keeping connected due to shortages in WiFi connections but the trip was fantastic and I will post daily to fill in gaps as well as reports from Paris.

Last night was spent at the Manoir de la Roseraie, a wonderful chateaux in Grignan.
Above our place was the castle called Chateau de Grignan, an imposing structure. The
Drome Provencal Region is full of life and nature and a pleasure to explore. We had
dinner at the Roseraie with Bruno Domenach, the very knowledgeable and friendly director of the region. Food has certainly played a huge part of this amazing trip through the Rhone- Alps.

I would write more tonight but the lights of the Eiffel Tower are throwing off a fireworks type of display and the clock is passing the witching hour, going to dream of the Drome.
