| A rainy trip to the Beaujolais region of France during the November release of the new wines, ie nouveau beaujolais. We stayed at a gite where they grew the grapes and made the wines on-site so we had the opportunity to do wine tastings with the owner's son, Florent.

| Lyon’s Fete des Lumieres, or the Festival of Lights, began in 1862 and has been transformed into a major 4-day festival attracting more than 50,000 people each year. Lyon illuminates their finest architecture with fantastic lights, shows and music. It is worth a trip to Lyon for the event which is held during the weekend of December 8th every year.

| When we visit my fiance's parents in Roanne we always take a morning to walk around the boat canal to look at the boats and barges and feed the ducks. It's a lovely walk and on many occasions we have had conversations with the boat folks, many of whom come from the U.S., Britian and northern Europe.
