Ladies & gentlemen, bienvenue France! :D Yesterday Es & I were up at the crack of dawn (not hard for me) to begin our journey to the beautiful French countryside. We navigated our way from Golders Green to King's Cross Station, St Pancras (the international railway station), through customs & onto the Eurostar to Paris.
