Viva la France…

parisMy work brought me to Paris for a change, usually it’s somewhere in Asia but I think it will not be on the map for this year. What we found was that a lot of stuff still needed to be done before it could be integrated into our own environment. Some had to do with the building itself, always challenging when buildings are older then your longest living relative. The other part was in the way they currently worked. Also found out that staircases are narrow and elevators are even worse. The elevator in this building came most likely from the same manufacturer as Boeing or Airbus get their elevators which are build into airplanes. This one was about 50cm wide and 1.5 meters deep. Did get my share of excersize as our hotel (booked on while already on our way) was close the south railway station and the office near the north one and we walked about one hour in the morning. In the evening it usually was a taxi ride back to the hotel as our feet where killing us and the rental van was parked at the airport as it didn’t fit any parking garage we could find. Next time by train or plane, definitely not by car. Less chance of hitting mopeds as well as they are everywhere. The picture is of the door to the building which houses our office, it seems to be painted now.
