wednesday morning it took me 75 minutes to get into the Parisien ring road from Evry. that's nearly, ooooh... 20km... having done Paris rush hour 3 or 4 times one way or another over the last 10 days, I now KNOW that I couldn't live like that.

Vive la province I say! It's not surprising that the Parisites all rush out of the capital every week end...
