The Experience

I was barely awake after my overnight flight into Charles de Gaulle, just kind of drifting through that strange airport limbo. Then I spotted my name on a little sign — honestly, it felt like a tiny miracle. My driver, Karim, grinned and helped me wrangle my suitcase (which had already lost a wheel somewhere between Boston and here). He spoke English but kept slipping into French when he greeted other drivers. The car smelled faintly of mint gum and those vanilla tree air fresheners — not fancy, but somehow comforting after airplane air.

The drive into the city center was quieter than I expected. Karim pointed out where the périphérique starts to get jammed on Mondays, which made me laugh because it was Sunday and still packed. He asked if I wanted music or silence — I picked silence for the first stretch, just letting Paris roll by in gray morning light. I remember watching rain streak sideways across the window as we passed Saint-Denis, and thinking how different everything looked from this side of jet lag.

He checked in a couple times about the temperature (“Trop chaud?”), fiddled with the AC until it felt right. There was something reassuring about how he handled every turn — no rush, no weird shortcuts, just steady driving straight into the heart of Paris. When we finally pulled up near my hotel in Le Marais, he hopped out first and grabbed my bag before I could even protest. I tipped him too much, probably — but honestly, after that long haul from CDG to city center, it felt worth every euro.
