We flew to Tours (30/08), stopped in Chambord on the way to Jargeau to show the castle to Alane. We spent some days in Jargeau with a one-day in Paris (01/09) where we visited Pantheon and Notre Dame, strolling around to see some of the amazing tourist attractions.
On Wednesday 3rd September, we started our journey toward Valras-Plage. On the way we stopped at Beaune for lunch but unfortunately under heavy rain and so we couldn’t see much. Continuing our journey we spent the night at Jérome & Valérie’s house in Faramans. They were very kind and warm to receive us. Next day we stopped in Nîmes, another city with Roman ancestry.
We arrived in Valras-Plage where we spent a wonderful week and Louisa had her first bath in the Mediterranean Sea. While there, we took a day to visit Sète (08/09), an important port, with its remarkable landscape: a hilly place located between a lake and the sea.
We spent our last days back in Jargeau with an astonishing visit to Versailles (11/09) where we finally could get into despite our first failed attempt last Christmas. What a fantastic place! And on the top of that we had an art exposition from Jeff Koons, with his very peculiar touch, sometimes chocking or surprising!
On Mamy Jeannine’s birthday (12/09), Murielle and Alexia prepared a dinner and Sandra and Séverine bought the cake. It was a really nice and lively evening!
Two weeks holidays in France.
