And here is a picture of Xavier's oldest brother Fabrice who I seemed to cut out in all the other pictures except a hand or a shot of a back...
He looks like une patate suédoise!

The Jewels of Jura
I finally got the chance to taste Yellow wine or " vin Jaune"! Very good, kinda like a sherry flavor. We also got to sample a crémant made by a friend of Malory and her husband. They also made the macvin which you can add to the crémant . How I love France!
St Floret
St. Floret is where Xavier's brother Fabrice, his wife Malory and two little boys Côme and Louison live. It is an old town dating back to the 1200s. Their house was were an old wine maker lived.We walked to their garden to pick raspberries and lettuce for our meal. We also were nicely woken by the neighbor's chickens across the street :)
Area around Le Cheix
The last picture is the "lion" made from iron and other minerals from the running water
Tour de France
When we arrived at Xavier's brothers' house in St Floret the Tour de France was going to pass in a town a few kilometeres away so we went to see and cheer them on!
