Monday

Had a really lovely family time in Cognac for our granddaughter’s first communion. We also (amongst everything we did) visited and were shown round the Courvoisier Napoleon cognac at Jarnac. 

Here are a few photos of the barrels and cognac tasting.

the church where Alice was celebrated with the other children The Eglise Sacré Coeur cognac

Today was a five hour journey…. plus breaks to the coast near to Arles. We had a bit of traffic around Bordeaux but otherwise plain sailing

We are here for 5 days. 

Our apartment is right on the sea shore! Very nice but in a tiny town by an industrial complex. …..
