Tree Hugging Contest

Last week-end's playground was the Three Fountains Abbey near Eurville (AKA Bernard's Family Birthplace). Founded in 1118 by... Saint-Bernard de Clairvaux !

We go there almost every year, as a pilgrimage, there's a few trees there, as you can see...

This wonderful Magnolia welcomes you, wathever the season.



Its a place where you should normally meditate and hug peacefully...

But then, Golum (and his infamous daugther) were crawling around the ruins...

And there were trolls in the bushes...


But what else can you expect in these remote and long forgotten areas ???

so funny! beautiful place!!! but, how quickly did you visit??? would we be proud? did he hardly stop the car for everyone to see the sights? were you running from site to site only to take a quick photo as proof you were actually there :)
