Welcome
We are a retired American couple living in France, enjoying the good life with our cats. Our house is in a small hamlet among the Ste. Foy vines. We also have a sailboat that the male half of the spousal unit sailed across the Atlantic in the summer of 08. When the weather warms we will start to visit the sailing ports of Europe. Our stories chronicle our life in France: the good life, the hard life, and the sailing life.
Candlelight Tour of Ste. Foy
During July and August it is possible to take a candlelight tour of the XIII bastide with a costumed guide. These tours begin at dark which now is about 9:30 PM and last for 1 1/2 hours. They are well attended and give good information about the history of the town and the region. You carry a large wax torch (flambeau) to light the way and children carry small paper lanterns. Many towns in France organize these "Visites aux Flambeaux".
