Montbard Day 3 Abbey de Fontenay

As usual the day starts at 8:30 am with breakfast with everyone at the table in our apartment.  It includes toast with preserves and honey along with coffee or tea.  Then Claudine and Marie are off to work on table in the living room with Bunnys French lessons.  Then another wonderful lunch and Bunny and I were on our own to explore the area.  This afternoon we drove to the Abbey de Fontenay.  The same place I walk to on Tuesday.  Today we went inside and explorer the buildings and the history of the Abbey.  The Abbey was bulit in 1118.  In 1820 the Abbey was purchased by the same family which owns it today.  Some of the buildings are private and off limits.

After the Abbey we went back to the apartment and scavenge left over from the previous days meals.  Then caught up on some of the shows we usually watch (The Good Wife and Madam Secretary) then off to bed.  Once again exhausted from the days events.
