There was no Eurostar back then and the journey was tortuous; it took most of the day. Train from London to Gatwick, a hop over the Channel to Le Touquet on board an oily, dirty turbo-prop, slow train to Gare du Nord, metro to Pigalles where we got lost for a while before finding our way to Hotel Bouquet de Montmartre. Was old fashioned even then, redolent of cigar smoke, varnish and freshly baked bread. Was the most magical week. The marriage didn't last & neither did the Bouquet de Montmartre...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
