My ancestors family name is "Rouleau" and it would be so nice to connect with someone, but just walking on the ground that my ancestors walked on will be exciting! Any suggestions/tips will be appreciated. Belleme sounds like a beautiful village.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-69648829961369793562011-09-06T23:41:09.465+02:002011-09-06T23:41:09.465+02:00Ouah, tu as perdu toutes les photos que tu avais t...Ouah, tu as perdu toutes les photos que tu avais téléchargées à partir de ma carte ???

I know what you mean about trying to deal with two languages. Walt says he is now illiterate in both French and English. Me too.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-35212967508892393782011-09-05T21:45:28.687+02:002011-09-05T21:45:28.687+02:00We really had a great time in Bellême, I enjoyed t...We really had a great time in Bellême, I enjoyed the atmosphere in this tiny "ville close" and our lunch was really good at "Relais Saint-Louis" :-)<br />Bises<br />MaryMary07https://www.blogger.com/profile/10730039957792562654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-78971411447472834742011-09-05T21:20:32.757+02:002011-09-05T21:20:32.757+02:00Belleme has just been put on

I have been here so long that I speak english to the few french friends I have in the States. They don't mind as I am really struggling with my french.<br />Your observations is so right on about streets being deserted at lunch time. If there aren't any touristic shops around, you won't see too many people unless it is market day. Most people like you, shop at Leclerc, Carrefour... I really got home sick when I read "Mais qu'est-ce qu'on mange ce soir". She made pounti and other delicious food. I am so happy to know that Evelyn & Lewis and you guys had such a good time in "Normandie".
