The Vouvray gîte again

Most of the Vouvray photos I've posted until now were ones that I took in September and October of 2000. These today are some that I took in June 2001, when the weather was summery and not autumnal. We could open up the house and let the warm air in. We could relax outside and have meals outside. (Sightseeing is hard work.)

As you can see, there was a huge tree that gave us and the house some shade for part of the day. In the photo on the right above you can see that we had a big green front yard as well as the gravel terrace right in front of the house. All this, and the center of the village with all its shops was just a 10-minute walk away.

After a week there, Cheryl want to go to Paris for her second week in France. She and I drove up to Paris and met up with Charles-Henry, who had arrived in Paris for the summer. He and I drove up to Rouen drove for a night or two with friends there, and then CHM and I drove down to Vouvray, where Walt had stayed, alone, over the weekend. He wanted to watch some of the tennis matches that were being played at Roland Garros in Paris. It was a great vacation. BTW, the photo on the right above is another view of the Vouvray gîte owner's house.
