Welcome to the 2026 European Heat Wave

 We had stopped going to Europe during the summer as it was crowded and hot.  However this trip was planned to celebrate the life of a friend who loved France so I made the arrangements to come over.  At least we didn’t stay in Paris and rented a car directly at CDG.

Car rental at CDG can be challenging depending on which gates your airline uses.  Unfortunately for us, we had to walk the entire length of Terminal 2 to where the rental offices were located. I never want the smallest (economy/mini) and I prefer the manual transmission, so I always reserve a compact car which is usually a VW Golf sized car…but crossovers are popular and the car rental companies consider the a sub-compact crossover the same class as a compact car which was a Renault Captur for this visit.  1.0 litre 3 cylinder turbo w/6sp.

Now we head to our first stop, Beaune.
