A catch up post for me, I just wanted to let everyone know what a great time I had two weeks ago when I was training in Paris with the French team Ces-Ces. For just under a week we trained at the French National Sports Institute, and on the weekend I was treated to seeing the sights of Paris with some real Parissians to show me around. The Ces brothers are from Montpellier in the south of France, but they had a couple of willing friends in Paris who we spent the weekend with and had a ball.

Training with the Ces brothers was great, yoga before most practices was right up my alley, and on the sand I found myself having to hit and block as high and as hard as possible every single time to get points against the French guys, who both know how to jump.

Walking around the streets and sights of Paris it really impressed me as a beautiful city with so much history and so much to see. It definately earns it’s place as one of the must-see places in the world. There are more photos on my picasa album, but the one on the right is Kevin Ces, their good friend Maia, me and Andy Ces in front of the Sacred Heart Basilica in Paris (map). From there we had a view over the whole of Paris, and it is definately a great spot to visit.
