Took an early morning Eurostar to Paris on Saturday and met up with Howard et al for lunch and the rugby. We dined in a superb restaurant, called Le Grand Cafe on Saturday night before heading to Bastille for some late night refreshments. It was a great evening until we tried to get home: the Metro had shut and the whole of Paris was queuing for a taxi; it took two hours to get back to the hotel.

Sunday included a trip to Longchamps for the annual Prix de l'Arc de Triumphe horse race. The atmosphere was amazing; the crowd was charged and some serious $$$ were being bet. I did not wager.

Except for missing the Eurostar home and having to pay extra to catch the next one, it was an absolutely fantastic weekend. Click here for some choice photos.
