Travels in the Ardennes

[Anniemcc2]

Reims Cathedral is a real treasure; saw the Smiling Angel statue but the world famous Rose Window was covered in scaffolding due to restoration work on stonework above it









Moi by the Joan of Arc Chapel.







Statue of Joan of Arc.

It has quite a history, not least Joan of Arc but was almost destroyed in WW1. Rebuilt/repaired/restored with money from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1930s.

A local landmark in the next village:

Oh wow, love the cathedral, so large and gorgeous and the statuary is wonderful. France is on my 'must see' list. I'll probably have to learn some French first, so I don't embarrass myself.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

Harvest time









The neighbours [the geese and rabbits weren't out]





And for the next YDC - forget Nutella, Chocolate Honey is the thing!

Very sorry to leave but we've decided to go home a day early because of the heat.

This is where we stayed;
