Even in France, on the journey of a lifetime you must make time to slow down! 

Today is a bank holiday in France so we did not work. I spent the first half of my morning doing some exploring and came across this little chapel that I couldn’t describe in words if I tried. It’s tucked away so I missed it on yesterday’s adventuring. 

I came across a spiral concrete staircase I had no idea where it led. I ventured down and it’s the way to the lower garden across the bridge from our kitchen view. 

I still do not know much about exactly what work will entail other than I start tomorrow at 8 am sharp. 

With the window open and the wind blowing, listening to the sounds of all the different birds I took some time just to reflect and take everything in and do some reading. I will meet the gardeners tomorrow and hopefully be able to venture into town for some groceries. 

For now I will try to go to sleep early as 10 pm here there is still a good bit of sunlight, but so very beautiful.
