Paris: 7- 8 February

No sooner back from Rio - I landed at 1720 on Sunday - than I was whisked away by car to the flat and then back to the airport after a quick change and to leave my suitcase, back to the airport and off to Paris on the 2015  Air France flight!
A night at the CDG Sheraton was the go as I only arived at 2230 but at least I was in bed by 2330, much better than riding into Paris and finding a hotel after midnight.. The Sheraton was OK but very pricey and wanting money for everything despite charging EURO 200 for the room alone. In the morning I eschewed the 35euro breakfast and it was down to the RER station and  off to IRSN in the far south of Paris and a day long meeting then back to the airport for the last Austrian flight of the day back to Vienna at 2015. I finally got back to the flat  at 2315 to start unpacking!
The meeting was the final session to agree the report of a committee I have been working with for nearly 3 years looking at remediation of oldcFrench uranium mines. After  so many meetings we still had quite a bit to do but the day went well. The final document will hopefully be handed to the relevant Ministers in France early in March.
