Travel Day to Southern France
Our journey to Nice begins! We left our MS home around 4:14 PM CST heading for GTR Airport only a short 25 min drive away. The adventure to southern France begins with an additional adventurer. We are traveling with our 9 month young baby. 👶 Bags are packed and bursting at the seams. Diapers stuffed in every crooks and cranny. Our goal is to travel with carry on luggage only to help avoid any delays in making our connection to Nice in CDG Paris. So far Téo has been a real trooper off to a great start. He seems to like to wave at the neighbors in the seats around us. We left GTR at 6:00 pm headed for ATL. Au Revoir Mississippi 🫡. At ATL we will board an over night flight to Paris. Looking forward to a decent sleep onboard and waking international.
After a 7 hr 50 min flight we arrived at CDG Airport. The flight was uneventful as a flight should be. We got our laughs in with the baby and the bassinet Air France provided since we were in bulk head seats. Téo was quite intrigued with the whole situation and thought it was the greatest thing to lounge with an arm over the edge and view the people from his perch instead of sleeping for a while. After some sightseeing, he settled down and got a decent sleep in. We woke him up when it was time to land. (Quick Tip: for anyone planning to travel on a long flight, try securing seats with the bassinet option. The bassinet hook ups are only in some of the bulkhead seating arrangements)
Air France served us Masala Rice with a side of fresh fruit, bread and garden salad for dinner. It was delicious for airplane food. For breakfast we had an assortment of breakfast items. Such as croissants, bread, fruit, orange juice and tea or coffee.
Next up, catch our short flight to Nice…Escorted through the airport and passport control. Near our next gate, we spent some time in the Air France Lounge in a more quiet and comfortable place then in the main terminal. There we had a variety of complimentary food and drink options to choose from. After a 10 or 15 min delay we boarded our flight number AF7310.
It's been a good travel day, 16 hrs later, its nearly finished. Our transfer to our hotel in the near by Village of Eze should be waiting on us when we arrive.
Beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean Sea so relaxing after a long day and makes the traveling worth it. Now it's time to say Goodnight (Bon Nuit😴)
