July 14th France's National DAy



More video! We went to Paris to get the real feel with the other millions of people to see the firework show with music.

Back to Paris

We went back to Paris from St Floret and stayed with Xavier's other brother Vincent and his girlfriend Cécile. I made them dinner this night.
My last night we went to a restaurant and the waitress made fun of me for ordering escargot! "So traditional" she said or something, pfff!

The "fruits" of France


The mutilated piece is Saint Nectaire, blue one is Bleu d'Auvergne, and Gaperon d'Auvergne are from the area around St. Floret. Comte (from Xavier's home area), Brillard Savarin and the little piece is Saint Marcellin

Over looking St Floret from the Chapel



Here you can barely see Malory and Louison sitting on their front patio!


I love these old medival towns. Just amazing.

The graves and "Bone Warehouse" above St Floret at the old chapel







My favorite sport...Food Market! Location: Issoire

This farmer is still using the old type of scale to weigh his cheese
