Cleaning our little house before our departure was bitter sweet. On the one hand, it’s small, so didn’t take too long. On the other hand, we’d invested a lot of time making it comfortable, so we were not ready to close the door, turn the key and leave.

We’d had a lovely, very social farewell, with morning tea with our new neighbours, drinks at ‘Le Victoire’ with our English friends, afternoon coffee with Petra and Sylviane, followed by dinner at Luculus Bistro. Whew! Oh, in amongst all that, we had to somehow pack, but we did and we’re now at Charles de Gaulle Aéroport, waiting to board our flight home.

Just enough time for a last ‘jus de pamplemousse, pain aux raisons et un grand crème pour le petit dejeuner’ before we go…

Bisous et à bientôt
