The Experience

You know that moment when you finally spot your name on a sign after a long flight? That was me at Charles de Gaulle — eyes half-closed, suitcase wheels rattling behind me. Our chauffeur (his name was Alain) gave this little nod, like he understood exactly how fried I felt. He’d texted the night before about where to meet him, which honestly saved me from wandering around arrivals in a daze. There’s something oddly comforting about seeing your own name in someone else’s handwriting, even if it’s just on a whiteboard.

The drive into Paris was quiet at first — just the low hum of the air conditioning and that faint new-car smell (not too strong). I kept staring out at the grey morning light through the window while Alain pointed out the périphérique traffic patterns (“always like this on Mondays,” he said with a shrug). It wasn’t rushed. No weird small talk unless you wanted it. He didn’t mind my awkward attempt at French either — actually laughed when I tried “merci beaucoup” with my jetlagged accent. I’m still not sure if I nailed it or butchered it.

If you’re heading from Paris back to CDG airport, it works pretty much the same way — Alain or one of his colleagues will text when they’re outside your hotel. Five minutes’ grace if you’re running late (which I did, because my bag zipper jammed). The car was spotless but not fussy, and there’s this unspoken understanding that nobody wants drama before a flight. No eating or smoking inside — which makes sense when you see how clean they keep everything.
