So, last day in Paris today and at the bus stop waiting for the bus to the train station to go to the airport and a few French locals are having a heated discussion. A few mins later the elderly lady asks us something in french, she quickly realises we are English from our broken French and explains the bus we need is not running today. She then goes on to apologise for her entire county as it is not the country she grew up in or recognises and is on a downward slope. I say the UK is the same. So interesting people are realising something is fundamentally wrong. Obvs those of us here think a large part is the money and we hope #btc fixes this. People are good at heart and we had so many great interactions with the pariseans, going from the boulangerie to the fromagerie and other local shops and bars. #travelstr #france
