Day 2 oof the french lessons started just the same.  But the day had something wonderful in store.  8:30 am breakfast and 9:00 am French lessons for Bunny.  I walked to Abbey de Fontany.  It is an Abbey just 2 1/2 miles from Montbard.  Claudine showed me how to use the signs on houses and poles to follow a walking trail to the Abbey. 

So the white and red lines meant that I was on the right trail and to go straight. When the lines were crossed it meant that you have gone the wrong way and need to turn around.

For lunch we drove out to a town called Planay.   It was about a 30 minute drive from Montbard.  We met Claudines freinds Annie and Raenae for lunch.  The home they lived in was built in 1740.  They had lived in the house for 40 years.  They invited us in for a wonderful French lunch with several courses each included wine or champagne.  After the lunch we toured the house including Annies studio where she paints in various forms.  Also I got a persoanl tour of Raenaes garden which became very ackward quickly as he couldnt speak english and obviously I couldnt speak french.  We quickly sought out Claudine to interpret what we were saying to one another.

What a wonderful experience to be invited into a french countryside farmhouse for a typical French meal.

On the way home we toured another wonderful little French town with lots of history.

Back to the apartment where Claudine had another wonderful dinner planned for us.  Then off to bed because we were exhausted from the day of learning and eating.
