Wednesday- The online english language support group that we belong to had arranged for a Santa Claus to be available for pictures this afternoon. Usually pretty easy to get to. Just a short walk from the Franklin Roosevelt metro stop on the 1 line.
Well, since last Friday the RER line that runs through Chatou has been on strike (Greve in French). There has been limited service between 0730-0930 and 1430-1830. Other times there are no trains running. Of course this is only on the spur of the line that runs through Chatou, the rest of the RER A line is still running at normal.
So we are left with the following options-Take a cab, the bus or drive. Driving would be a challenge as the only way to get there is to dive the champs d'elysse and navigate the etoile at the arc d'triomphe. Not sure if I am ready to do that on a Wednesday afternoon and then try to find a place to park.
The malls here in France do not have Santas. A few of the amusement/play parks that are open have a Santa but none of them are convienent to our location. We are still exploring options but it appears that we may not have a picture with Santa and Samuel for this Christmas.
