HAUTE CULTURE



Sunday was a brilliant day. First we had the market in the village square, followed by coffee with Jacqueline and the Swiss cousins Andrew and Cathy. Then the visit to the chateau. In the evening, as it started to get misty with light rain, we went to the 11th Century Church of Saint Michael in Fontevraud to hear the Chamber Orchestra of Bratislava performing in the church.
