Monica, Peter and I have had such a lovely visit with Jean and Nicole Court (and their dog Flora, of course) in Le Touvet, France, over the weekend. As I remembered them and their house, they were gracious and welcoming to us. Their house is a lovely home overlooking a valley with the Alps in the distance...what a spectacular view!!!
Jean came into Le Touvet to lead us home, where Nicole was waiting on the front steps for us. It was so nice to remember with them the visit that Nick, Cati and I had 16 years ago, when they opened their home to us for a week!
The meals that Nicole and Jean prepared were fantastic, as I also remembered well...pastries, melons, hams, chicken, pasta, breads, jams, salads honeys, fruits, sweets and many more yummy treats.
Jean took us on a walk to a chateau on the mountainside above the town. It was large and lovely, with gardens designed by the person who designed the grounds at Versailles! Whew! They were gorgeous!
Monica got us up for an early run each day, ending in a trip to the patisserie for chocolate and/or almond croissants and eclairs to share with the family. We all knew we were in a special place.
Saturday, Jean treated us to a trip up a funicular to watch the parasailing from half way up the mountain. Fantastic.
Thank you, Jean and Nicole, for a memorable weekend with dear friends.
