Though we left the hotel around 8 a.m, outside the hotel was still at dawn.

Entrance of sucy bonneuil station
We boarded RER train to Gare de Lyon.
Since the station is one of the huge terminus in Paris, I took train pictures.
TGV Réseau Duplex
Soon after takin this photo, an elderly woman on the platform asked me something. But, due to my inability to speak French, I couldn't understand what she said. So, I ignored her and walked to the exit with my wife. She was afraid that the woman was a thief and she tried to distract us from belongings.
No one except her knows the truth.

I bought three kinds of bread at the bakery shop at the edge of the platform. They were our breakfast.
We found several groups consisting of elderly passengers. Since today is Sunday, they'll go on a hike by SNCF trains.
Our first destination was not Gare de Lyon, but Bastille.
If you learned French history, you must have heard the name.
Yes, it's Place de la Bastille, the symbol of French Revolution.
By the Line 1 train
Near the place, there were morning markets where my wife bought cheap souvenirs.
We boarded Paris Metro Line 1 successively, and got off at Charles de Gaulle-Etoile to see Arc de Triomphe.
Just from an exit of the station, we saw the gate.
By Line 6, we headed for Eiffel Tower.
Line 6
At Bir-Hakeim station, the second nearest station to Eiffel, my wife saw a kissing couple on the opposite side of the platform, while I was taking train picture above. The kissing man glanced her and pointed her out to see something. But, neither I and she understood his intention.
Because we had no time to spend time in Eiffel, we just went to the lowest observatory floor. After the tower, we went to Paris Disneyland by the route below.
Champ de Mars - Tour de Eiffel→RER C→Bibliotheque Fransois Mitterland→Line 14→Gare de Lyon→RER A→Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy
The attractions we experienced at the park were
・Space Mountain
・Autopia
・Casey Jr. Circus Train
・Phantom Manor
Nothing but food and attitude of staffs is different from Disneyland Hong Kong.

Casey Jr. Circus Train
We were back to Gare de Lyon to pick up baggage.
And headed for Paris Nord to board Eurostar train. But, due to mechanical mulfunction of border inspection, a lot of passengers were waiting ahead of passport control. So, the train was delayed by 2 hours.
I couldn't enjoy scene from the train, because I was shattered by the duration I was waiting for the train.
After arriving at St.Pancras station, I went to tube station.
Eurostar we boarded
A man who seems to be Indian asked me where we were going.
He seemed to want to sell 1 day tickets to us.
We got off at Goldhawk Road on Hammersmith&City Line to go to today's hotel.
