Back by popular demand are a few posts on our continuing adventure. We were in the US when the Paris "Charlie Hebdo" and "Marais Kosher Market" attacks occurred last January. We discussed the risks of returning to France and decided life is filled with risks worth taking - for us this is one of them. So off we went.
As the calendar approached February 14, we read on a travel blog that the village of St. Valentin was holding a festival for the holiday on February 12-15. We had plans for the 14th, so decided to drive the 2 hours there on the 12th.
Mayor's office
Perhaps you have noticed, although we found the town, there were no people about. We did not even see a dog or cat, let alone a festival. After wandering for a period, we decided to go to the town of Issoudun for lunch (hometown of Danielle Susser). We came back after lunch and found the Mayor. He told us the festival was Feb. 14 and 15. Next time, we will double check professional blog information.
Post Office
Salle de Marriage - Marriage Hall
During the actual festival, metal hearts can be purchased and engraved and hung.
On the 14th we ventured to Domaine des Hauts de Loire for a sumptuous repast with our neighbors Jean Charles, Marie Christine, Franco and Christiane.
Valentine's Day has always been special to us, as Ron invited Barbara out for the first time in a Valentine.
