French countryside

My recent trip to France was broken up into two parts. The first part was experiencing the French countryside for a few days followed by a week in Paris. Since all of my previous trips to France had been to Paris, I was excited to spend a few days in the French countryside.

We stayed in a little town called Amilly which is about 1 hour 15 minutes outside Paris. My sister and her family had rented a “gite” which essentially is a french farmhouse that is rented out. We had a lovely few days there exploring the town of Montargis and the canal in Briare. We met some very happy french chickens with a super long chicken run, and had what would be considered the best pain aux raisins of the entire trip!

The best part of this segment of the trip was attending my sister’s art show opening. My sister, a painter, was part of a joint show in Amily, and we were so proud to be there to support her.

Next stop….. Paris.
