What a nice Easter Yps and I, Curious George, had: a 4 days trip to Paris, capital of France!

Frog (the green guy below) drove us in his car, it was A LOT cheaper than an overbooked TGV despite the car park and highway toll. The navigation system was borrowed from friends; it didn't work until we had arrived at the city's gates...

Our hotel was next to the Gare de Lyon, a nice and not too noisy place only a few minutes away from all the major attractions.

Below 2 videos we took inside the train station: (More)

Curious George toured Yps around the ArcelorMittal Differdange steel plant, Luxembourg. The hot bar in the background is positioned to be flattened by rolls. It is really hot there, even several meters away; and very noisy.

 

Yps and George wanted to try out the controls and make their own steel products but they weren't allowed. The control tower looks exactly like a ship's bridge (way bigger than the corner in which the picture was taken).
