Day out with Jean & Monique







It didn't take long for us to say yes when Monique phoned last week asking if we'd like to go out for a wander around.

We started at Fontenay-le-Comte at a less than fascinating gardening fair but then walked around the town discovering some lovely spots (photos 1, 2 & 3) before eating a scrumptious Tunisian meal sat outside (and encouraging others to do the same - we should have been on a percentage)!

From there we motored on to Nieul sur l'Autise where the Abbey wonderfully shows monastic life through interactive displays, ancient and modern combined in good taste. Photo 5 shows the traditional instrument gallery, each instrument magically playing as you walk past it. More of our day out tomorrow!
