Then just following our noses, figuratively, from town to town til we got somehwere near Vouvray, where I had spent 2 weeks many moons ago. And there are hundreds of lovely B&Bs in the area to choose from. How could we end up there? It was a connection that was meant to be. It's odd to think that Didier & Catherine will see my sister in Maine, long before I do!<BR/><BR/>The remote island in Maine is so small -- everyone waves to each other from their cars. That's how I knew immediately. I'm still shaking my head is wonder and disbelief.<BR/><BR/>And yes, Evelyn, Vouvray wine is from the region. There are three varieties, still, demi-sec, and brut; they served us a few happy glasses (!) of the sparkling version,a brut from Chateau Moncontour. It was so delicious that we bought a case at the nearby hypermarche. A great champagne substitute for less than €5 per bottle.Polly-Vous Francaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667479743723002691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-5397989443890021042008-07-18T10:49:00.000-04:002008-07-18T10:49:00.000-04:00Every time I hear one of these 'it's a small world...Every time I hear one of these 'it's a small world' stories I'm amazed!

I'll have to try to keep that address for future reference -- you never know, it's always great to have some good B&B addresses, especially not too far from Paris...<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you must have had a wonderful short road trip away!The Late Bloomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08337578942279132688noreply@blogger.com
