Christmas

2005

In Saint-Rémy de Chargnat. Elena met Fabrice's family on this occasion. This was—as had always been—a working day for my parents, and you can see my father's face covered with flour. The dinner was however celebrated with due honors, featuring oysters and Château Cheval Blanc. This would also turn out to be my father's last Christmas, as he would pass away three days short of the next one.

2006

In Chaméane. Fabrice's father had passed away 3 days earlier, so this was a trying Christmas for everybody, and the first one we had on a non-working day. Elena's parents had been invited—speak of a good timing—and we had a small celebration.

2018

In Issoire, with Lionel's family, at the occasion of our first campervan trip.
