Just an hours drive from Paris is this peaceful pocket of paradise.  I felt so relaxed from the minute we parked our car.  I even commented to Dan, "even the parking lot is pretty", with it's canoped trees shading the small cars.

Paragraph.

We walked the dirt road and sidewalks into small rooms of color surrounded by green hedges seperating them. 

As we were watching the butterflies and bee's enjoying the lavender we spotted this restaurant...........

"Table for four under the wisteria vine please."  We had an absolutely delicious lunch in this peaceful and beautiful setting.  Dan had fish, I had the potato pie and the kids had pork skewers.  We licked our plates. 

When the kids were finished with their lunch, they played on the grass and tried to catch butterflies while Dan and I enjoyed each other........bliss.

After lunch, we meandered down the dusty road, admiring the flowers thriving along the side of the road along with typical french scenes that I never tire of....

I'll be back tomorrow with photographs of Monets beautiful garden.  For all you gardeners out there, you will be impressed.
