I actually saw footage of this on BBC news this morning. They showed what they thought was a tiger...Latest is they think it is a Tiger...bought as a pet and kept in captivity...I can never understand anyone who would do that to a magnificent wild animal

After that rant...it will probably turn out to be a false sighting....

Hopefully its caught before anybody (or the Tiger itself) gets hurt.

Done eurostar then local sncf to marne le valee twice now, such a stressful experience.
Coming back on eurostar direct from Disney but got a nice discount and had loyalty points vouchers too.
But going, I just need as least stress as possible, so jumping on a plane and private transfer on arrival.

I did Eurostar to Paris....no time to take breath... as we jumped on the next train to the Dordogne...

My sister thought I would enjoy the whole train experience when we travelled to her place in Sarlat

A total of 12 hrs travel?? Yeah right!....

I went to Paris once...I travelled through it on the way to Italy and never had the slightest desire to go back. Much overrated and full of French men.
