12. We did Paris a couple days, the Musee D'Orsay & the Louve. Then headed sw on the suberb TGV

for my friend/college roomie's wedding in Bordeaux. Lovely summer affair, eve reception at a small chateau. Next day all toured the medieval Dordogne castle, Chateau de Beynac, home of barons like Rich. Coeur de Lion, Francois I. Saw charming Saint Emilion and lunch in Brantome-en-Perigord at an old restaurant/inn/abbey from Charlemagne's time!- Moulin de L'Abbaye recommended by friends. Lovely and I recall those cute ducks waddling around the terrace over the river.

Friend is an artist and instructor m. to a French sculptor. She's very happy there after working as a graphic designer in Atlanta and Boston. She RAVED about the TGV weeks before we went over. Thanks for jogging the memories, good ones. But now I'll be on a French jag for a bit, it happens!
