If it’s September, this must be Paris

September means Paris in this industry, so here I am again, testing my rather dodgy French on the native speakers. They seem to be largely understanding what I’m on about, which is encouraging.

I’m staying in the 8th, which turns out to be perfectly placed for just about everything. Easy to get down to the Expo, easy to find food, well-placed for a walk at the end of the day. Certainly better than Bastille, where we stayed two years ago, and wherever it was we were last year, when we had to change trains four times to get to the show.

That walk eventually took me as far as City Hall, St Michel and Cite, where they’ve finally finished cleaning the towers of Notre Dame after about five years in patchy scaffolding. It’s a brilliant light cream now, and was very much worth the effort.
