We left Lugano at 7:30 to Zurich, then took the TGV at 11:30. From Gare de Nord, we bought and charged up Navigo card through a machine. Bus 91 took us to Place d’Italie and our hotel in the 13th Arrondissement Italie Gobelins. It was a small room, newly refurbished and warm. Then off to explore the neighborhood.
