The ceiling of one of the smaller rooms had over a hundred people painted on it and had taken three years to paint. I can’t imagine how long it took them to paint the ceiling of the long Hall of Mirrors.
The gardens were immense. We had nice weather, almost too sunny and bright with the white gravel pathways. We took a walk through part of the grounds, but couldn’t hope to cover it all.
By the time we finished walking around, the kids were tired and happy to go sit in the car for the drive to Dijon. We got a little lost getting on the highway, but eventually found our way.
The drive through the Bourgogne region was beautiful with the many yellow, mustard fields. We reached Dijon and found Nadim’s aunt’s house with no trouble. It was great to see Renee again. She hasn’t changed a bit.
