Souvenirs de vacances...

 
 
 
 
 
We are finally back...
The girls tuned 6, we watched Big Eyes play in a park, we went to Nice, I went to Paris (without the children!), we had our usual day trips to Italy...
We found a new nice little cafe in the old town of Nice -which wasn't there at Easter. It did feel like we were in London or Paris but, hey, nice furniture!

This is the loveliest thing I brought back. I bought it from the bouquinistes on the side of the Seine in Paris. The seller was so lovely and said to me 'I have other books by Simenon but they are not as pretty'...

Laghet


We had a little trip to the sanctuary of Laghet, up in the hills, to escape the heat from Nice.
The walls are covered with ex-votos.When local people survived an accident or an illness, they would bring a picture, an embroidery etc... Some are just beautiful. We are still in my  country, yeah!
