We stayed the day in Marennes today. Thierry’s parents come for lunch every Wednesday which his mother makes. She also gathers up all the laundry and irons everything after she made lunch. She loves to do this. So, this lunch consists of a rice salad, then green beans and potatoes & meat. Then we have cheese and bread and always more wine.
It was a beautiful day so Wes & I went out for a walk. We went up to the church which was built in the 1500s. It has a really tall steeple as all churches do here in France. You can always tell you are coming up to a village as you can see the church from miles away.
As Marennes is a village on the coast they have a marina near their town center.
This is one for the homes we walked past. It's like nothing I could have imagined.
So even after the large lunch that lasted over an hour that was more the size of a dinner….dinner time rolled around and they do an even larger meal. And after dinner we had more cheese. Tonight we had Roquefort, gouda & a creamy cheese. About the only cheese I’ve found I don’t like is goat’s cheese, it’s too strong.
