I'm on the TGV going about 200km/h back to Paris now from the Loire valley, near where my sister was married. So fast that if i took a picture out the window it would be one big blur of sunflowers or wheat fields, which are currently in harvest. The 200km radius around Paris is actually France's most productive agricultural region, all in grain and oil seeds. I guess this means the holiday part of my trip is over, but that's OK.
