Our experience in France last year was so remarkable and exceeded all of our expectations, that it wasn't long after we returned that plans for our 2013 adventure were in the works.
Accommodations, flights and car rental have all been arranged and finalized.
This year we have rented a charming 17th Century Barn that has been lovingly converted into a cottage located in a small village near Gourdon (where our home base was in 2012) in the Lot Valley.
Our mode of transport will be via a Peugeot 207 (or similar) for the duration of our stay.
We will again fly with Air France from Toronto to Toulouse via Paris; service is great and we say goodbye to our bags in Toronto and they are in Toulouse when we arrive.
Of course our passports are up to date...so we are ready to go and immerse ourselves full throttle with all our senses into the French lifestyle.
Now it's just the packing and the unpacking as we decide what to take and then what we really need to take or more accurately what we don't need to take.
Stay tuned for more updates about our Rendezvous.
Upon returning from our last trip, I made a " Shutterfly " photo book that captures some of our special memories and postcards.
This painting hangs in our dining room, and was our souvenir purchase in 2003 during our very first vacation in France.
It is titled " Le Rendezvous ".
Some of our grandchildren think this is Grandma and Grandpa...oh to see the world through childrens' eyes!
