SYNOPSIS: Join me on my walk to work, but this time with a difference! I take the brand new Paris tram (T3). Opened on Saturday 16 December, it runs across the three southerly arrondissements in Paris (XIII, XIV and XV) from Porte d’Ivry (in the East) to Pont du Garigliano (West). I can now take it 3 stops to get to work.
Binaural recording - put on your earphones!

OK, I’m feeling guilty about not providing regular updates and content. I also miss the fun and the interaction.
So, to tide things over until my next media post, here are a few photos that were taken by Bruno on Sunday. I have a couple of important meetings this month, so I thought it was time to refresh my wardrobe and buy two new suits and a coat. He took these while I was trying them on at home!
A bientôt
