Kyle and Andrea meet more of the Family....



In the morning I fell like a Gargoyle....until I get my cup of authentic French Cafe' (coffee)....


Nothing better than a Cafe Au'Lait....




Part of the experience for all of us is spending time with family....Linda has 34 family members living all over France...Kyle and Andrea will get a chance to meet ...Max and Sylvie! and to visit their house in Troo...the "City of Caves"...their house is half built into the hillside...in a cave!



A Champagne welcome....a very good bottle from 2003! 







The kitchen in the cave part of the house....


Andrea setting the dinner table ....in a cave....


And along with Kyle....getting addicted to the "fromage" or cheese!



Kyle catching some of Sylvie's hospitality...they surely connected with their sense of humor!

Linda catching up with Max and Sylvie!



Max dug up a picture of Simone (Linda's mother) and her as a little girl....

Here are some sights around the village of Troo...


Looking out Of Max's front window!


Scenes from walking through the village...home to writers, poets, artist....this is one of my favorite places.


One of the many cave homes....



Inside a neighbor's house....artwork from over 3 generations of family artist....


Kyle and Andrea...strolling through the village.

There are 2 churches in Troo....this one was closed but the scenes below are from a 12th century church in Troo and one nearby in the nearby town of Lava'rdin....where there was also a Medieval Castle ruin.


12th century frescoes still around telling Biblical stories....


Pretty incredible to witness and experience....


Castle ruins...


My little sunflowers!!


Sylvie packed us a wonderful lunch for a picnic....on our way back to Paris near some castle ruins at Vendome'....
