Country Roads

Small town outside of Paris. I wish I could remember the name.

Sur la route

The charming village of Thorigny sur Oreuse.

Cerises pour Eva

This from our 2009 trip to Paris and Fontaine-Fourches.  The backyard at La Bonne Etoile was a wonderful playground for Eva and Davis. They kicked the ball, picked carrots, explored, made fairy houses and saw for the first time cherry trees!

Serge

Meet mon ami Serge. I really like this portrait of him. Serge and Caroline live in Chalmaison, France. I loved getting to know them this past summer. The dinner we shared in their lovely home was just a very special evening, and one I'll not forget.

A rainy day today so we headed for the first big French supermarket we've seen. So many things to choose from but everything's in French!ha Somedays I will be adding more Paris photos so be sure to scroll down and check for these as well.

Ahhh, the French Countryside!

Talk about culture shock. We left Paris this morning and after a nice drive through the countryside, we arrived in Fontaine-Fourches! La Bonne Etoile is such a beautiful place. Just what you imagine a French country farmhouse is like. Our hosts Kippy and Jerome were out of town but their dear friends Serge and Caroline greeted us and served a wonderful lunch on the terrace. I promptly cozied up in a comfy easy chair and had a little nap. The children have had a delightful time exploring, making a fairy house, picking cherries and trying to make friends with the two French chats! We are already feeling relaxed and at home here.
