The weather has been lousy since arriving (except the first day and one evening). Right now it is cold and rainy. No change between UK and France right now. I did go for a run today - ran for about 35 minutes and never left Le Defense - but the cement is hard on the legs. The entire area has pedestrian surfaces that are above the roads and trains. As you walk along, the cement squares will rock on the metal frames that hold them. A bit tricky to get used to. The main sight in this area is le Gran Arche. This is a huge structure and is right next to the building. You can take an elevator to the top, which I might do if we get a nice day.
