Chloe and Mary flew to Paris, France and then took the train to the small village of Sancerre where they will be spending two weeks studying French and enjoying this lovely, quaint village.
The school is in a 400-year-old chateau in the heart of the village.
Our accommodation was in a small, 2-bedroom,
second story apartment about a block from the school. Choe had good views from her window into a
nearby garden and of the rooftops.
When not in class we often spent time wandering the narrow, windy streets of the beautiful village. Old buildings, colorful doors and flower boxes.

There was a main square with many eateries. We ate here many times for lunch and dinner.
 |
| Some of the local goat cheese. Very yummy. |
The views of the countryside from the hill and town seemed to go on forever.

And we also stopped in to see the Notre Dame of Sancerre. It is a lovely church that is still active although there is no resident priest. A roving priest comes for one service a month.
There was a small general store in town so we also shopped there so that we could have some food to eat in the apartment.
On the 20th
we had a major lightning and thunderstorm in the late evening. It poured very hard. Glad we didn’t need to be out in it.
