On our way back home.

A water colour we bought  of the house

A typical house along the river Seine ( beginning 20th C)
(Victor Hugo french writer)

On our way home under the rain, we stopped at Villequier Victor Hugo’s home by the river Seine.

We already went there many times and I like to see 

The garden in Spring, but … they are changing the garden for a tall ship festival we will have in June 

And there were no flowers!

Notre Dame

If you know Victor Hugo the river Seine is the place where his daughter Léopoldine died.

 Victor Hugo’s bedroom.

We visited his house in Guernesey when he was in exile

It was also a beautiful with a sea view.

I hope you all had a very nice Easter and thank you for your Easter wishes.

Now a new page of the book is turning on the 12th…I will be 67 on that day! My son informed me that my Birthday present  🎁 was already in the mail box! But I must not open it before the 12th, it will be long!

The thatched house road and Victor Hugo.

We are in Victor Hugo daughter’s house.

This is his daughter Léopoldine. He has lost his daughter who was drowned in the river Seine in front of her house.

He wrote the poem «  Demain des l’Aube » in memory of his daughter. I love this house, this is a very romantic place.

 

This is a rare picture how they make thatched house roof

Only few people can do it now. I am glad to have the opportunity to take a picture.

Hello Friends,

The weather was very bad, but we tried to go and visit one of our favorite place «  thatched houses road »

«  la route des chaumières »

The picture above is a typical Normand well.

These houses are along the river Seine.

Then we had heavy showers had to wait in the car and then find a place to be protected by the rain.

Then we found shelter in Victor Hugo’s daughter’s
