For Connie and I, today was devoted to rest and relaxation. Our full day in Paris required some serious recovery, so we slept in, and spent the day reading, napping and taking a walk. Since everyone else had left in the morning on day trips, we pretty much had the run of the castle.
A dewy iris on the castle grounds.
A shuttered window on a neighboring cottage.
A fluffy purple plant in the fields behind Oigny.
The Retz Forest.
Connie meanders along a cobblestone path.
Our tranquil walk through the small villages neighboring the chateau allowed us to savor the beauty of the French countryside slowly... why is countryside in France so much prettier than countrysides in other places?For dinner, we enjoyed some revamped leftovers and a tasty mac and cheese casserole made by Serena and Nalini. Frederic brought her cute family over to join us in this meal, and we were honored to meet her husband Cristophe, her 12 year old son Josef, and 6 year old Lila, whom I enjoyed creating plate people with after dinner.
