Amazing ! Chapeau bas.
My grand-mother is 83-year-old. She is twice a great grand mother !
She thought it sucks that her grand-children were living too far away from her, especially those with kids, i-e, her great grand kids.
So she decided to make the trip to visit my cousin and her young son.
Which means :
- Drive to the railway station in Evreux (Eure)
- One hour trip from Evreux to Paris.
- Change railway station in Paris (from St Lazare to Austerlitz)
- Eight hours trip by night train
- Arrival in Gap (Alpes Maritimes) the following morning
A twelve hours journey !
What irritated me was, when she took her ticket for the night train, they gave her a berth on the top !!! Could you imagine a 83-year-old climbing to her berth in a rolling train ? Non sense...
She had the chance to be able to change her berth to a more appropriate, but still !!!
There should be some kind of reserved berth on the bottom for the elder or disabled.
That would be social progress !!
