Summer vacation

August's month has been for a few years the month when we can all reunite, usually in Montpellier and spend some great time.

This year we've been able to spend more than 10 days together.

First we unveiled my dad's newest addition to the tree house with a proper apéritif

 

Then we celebrated Rémi's 5th birthday

 Most of the family was able to come for Juliette's 20th birthday (even Dui showed up!)

 And Melville (Renaud's son) got to drive a Porsche

 We ended up having a jump contest.
It's hard to tell who wins!!!

South West Adventures

Last Week End we visited an amazing place called “Domaine de Bois buchet” located in the middle of Nowhere, really impressive and huge estate organizing workshops and exhibitions. The owner is the founder of Vitra, a famous furniture design company.

Lily had spotted an exhibition of “Boro”, ragged peasant clothes from Japan. Absolutely wonderful and perfectly in tune with the state of the castle (the place had been squatted for years and the rooms have not yet been renovated)

The visit includes lots of different subjects ; design , architecture and even an old Tea House brought from Japan.

We spent the night in a very nice B&B were we had already been 15 years ago:  The Logis de Boussac, near Cognac.  There was a very heavy thunder during the night, destroying many trees and leaving the country without power for almost two days

The heavy metal doors (electrically assisted) could not be opened, and the only way we could leave the place was through the Reception Hall where a wedding was organized.

 

Mr and Ms MEHAUD, the owners

Then we visited Talmont sur Gironde, very nice village overlooking the river with small fishermen's houses and flowers everywhere.
