The morning started with a nice breakfast at our hotel. While part of our team took it's breakfast, the remainder did start MoLa and the intruments, and vice versa. So we ready to leave Château Thierry around half past seven (UTC). Heading towards Paris, we got into our first traffic jam (nice results for our measurements, although, once you get to know about air quality in a traffic jam, you might wish to never again get into one).
We passed that one and went to the inner city of Paris, with the aim to drive MoLa down the famous Champs Élysées. And, guess what happend: we actually missed it in the first! After doing another turn around the "Place de la Concorde", in the second try we got to it! If you wanna see a proof, just watch the video below.
Driving on that famous street is quite an experience, especially if it comes to the circle around the "Arc de Triomphe". The round is huge, there are no marked lanes AND no rules! But, we made the miracle true and passed it once completely without damaging MoLa.
Going as far as "Pont Neuf", we turned around and left Paris, with a last view on the Eiffel Tower. From that point on, the trip started to become at least a little bit boring, without any nice views (it started to rain) and problems, starring most of the time on the display infront of me. On the picture below, you might experience that view for yourself.
But at the end of the day, there was some adventure again: the search for a stay over night. It's hard to find a nice hotel which is willing to offer you not only rooms and food, but also electricity (some of our instruments need power all night). So we're quite happy when we found a nice place called "Le Grand Gousier" which fullfilled all our requirements. If you wanna checkout our trip today, have a look at the map below! That's all for today.
