The Toussaint (All-Saints Day) = A week and a half off from school!
So after a few days at home, we left for the Loire. Camille and I shared a heavy-duty suitcase, black with an "I Love Pylos" sticker. Had we known that we would be wearing almost all of our clothes at once, for the whole trip, we wouldn't have bothered. It was cold. And wet.
The first day before arriving at the house we had rented, we ate a picnic lunch at Chambord.
There used to be 2,000 people living in the château.
It was built as a hunting lodge. The banners were lovingly stitched with images of animal carcasses dripping blood.
Another day we visited Chenonceau, a château built for the mistress of one of the kings.
And another day: Tours, an ancient city, now shopping megacenter of the Loire. We got lost looking for the car. We had to buy pains chocolats to keep up our energy.
Art in Blois...
Les Champigny (sans Marion).
Near the Blois château, a fawn playing music.
For some reason, a lot of people take pictures with the suits of armor. Look, I met a chevalier!
The emergency information signs in Blois.
Unreal-
One morning I went looking for mushrooms in the forest with maman et papà. It's a little late for ceps though. And some were filled with grubs...
Elle est lost in thought... "demain!!"
Camcam and petite cousine Cécile.
Dare I mention the old man hair?
A sofa chosen by Napoléon III himself.
Do they really watch the videos afterwards?
Forever looking to the Tour Eiffel.
