So there was a tingle of excitement, while we walked around the beautiful town of Saumur.
Everywhere we looked, there were many beautiful old homes and buildings that seemed like they had been there for many, many years.
I am reading the story of 'Coco Chanel, The Legend and the life ' and this is the town where she was born on the 19th August 1883.
Here are a few shots that we took, of the picturesque place.
Busy, busy here
DD had a few days holiday, so she came home and we spent some lovely Mother/Daughter times together... lots of walking, shopping in the village and taking morning tea at a cafe watching the gorgeous waves of the ocean, and having the most glorious, sunshiney weather.
Thanks for visiting and to new followers and I look forward to coming to say hello and see what you are up to.
Happy week
Hugs
Carolyn
How beautiful Carolyn!!! What a gorgeous place.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear that you and your girl got to spend some time together. Aren't daughters the best blessings?
hugs...
Coco Chanel had such class and style .... It would be a wonderful book to read especially since you've been to the town where she was born. Mother-daughter times are so.. special . Wishing you a beautiful sun-shiney week Carolyn.

Hi Carolyn!!!! this town looks amazing....I am so thrilled to see everything through your eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteFrance is such a beautiful country - I don't recall having been in this town. I need to go back and looks at my photos to see. If so, I think we just drove through, which is very possible.

All I can say is pure joy! You always find the best places to visit. Hugs to you my friend.
ReplyDeleteDear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteSaumur looks like a lovely French town to me. It brings back memories of our stay in Normandy last year!
You asked me about the cup. It's one of my favourites. I found it at a fleamarket in Delft years ago. The name under the cup is Shirndling Bavaria. The Germans made some beautiful china!
Happy Wednesday!

Beautiful pictures again Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteI have been remembering our trip to France last year - hard to believe it was one year ago next week that we went!
I am also reading a biography about Chanel - it's by Justine Picardie and is a very good read. I took it with me on our trip last year and read most of it there...it seemed fitting somehow... the book is wonderful with pictures too. She was quite the story, Chanel was.
Soooooooooooo beautiful! I love, love, love the architecture. Thank you for sharing these photos. It's so great to travel through blogland with friends.
