There may be some locals who will tell you that your transfer challenge is a piece of cake - or whatever the equivalent is in French. But on your schedule, I would be a nervous wreck by the time I arrived.

It seems way too tight to me - but that may be just my cautious approach to connections, plus a heap of experience of all those delays that shouldn't happen but inevitably do - and a recent memory of a Parisian traffic jam that meant we took about three times as long as we should have to reach our hotel from the station.

Can you rearrange to spare the ulcers?
