I would still like to go to Normandie and Mont St Michel, but I haven't decided on my itinerary.

The last time I went by way of Geneva, Switzerland and caught a ride to Angouleme. I would like to return to Switzerland, but it is a very expensive country and they don't take Euros. It is also a 10 hour drive to Angouleme.

I've also gone by way of Paris, taking the TGV train south. In this case I would return to Paris, do some sight seeing and perhaps go to Normandie.

I guess I could fly in to Bordeaux, and take the train to Angouleme.

A lot would depend upon my schedule, deadlines, and my mood when I make my reservations. I'm traveling a lot December-April, and don't want to fall too far behind on my deadlines as I did earlier this year. I went to Europe 3 times during October through January. Between that and a few other trips, I've been trying to catch up all year. It's a good thing I'm able to take my work with me or I'd really be far behind.

I hope you will have time to visit Normandie (Honfleur, Etretat Le Clos Lupin, Rouen, Le Tréport...). I live in the north of Paris (Val d'Oise), but i am from an old Normand's family. It will take me 6 hours drive to go to Angouleme, but between 2 or 4 hours to Normandie (depends of where). Perhaps someone of Pierre Paquet's team will drive you to Angouleme from Paris ? tell me when you will go to Angouleme, i will make the deplacement as you !

In Paris there is actually a very important exposition about Star Wars in La Villette (very important exposure hall called City of Science). Should be available when you will come.

It's a good thing I'm able to take my work with me or I'd really be far behind.

This mustn't be easy !

i could not...

I will be flying in and out of Paris after all. I will be doing a couple of store signings in Paris before taking the train to Angouleme.

The signings will probably be on January 24 and 25.

I'll post more information as I receive them.

I requested Paquet for a signing in Impression which is an old independant comicbook store near Paris...

2 days in Paris... hope you will have the time to see all you wanted to. I will see before you come Star War expo, Yokai expo and tell you if is worth to see it.

Will you still visit Normandie ? i hope so !

Here some guests of Angoulême :
