A hearty 'Bonjour' to one and all from Sophie.
This morning the family diva watches me top up the water in the pool. She then heads off across the lane into the sunflower field. The sunflowers are now five feet tall and growing by the minute. For a PONette few things can match the excitement of charging through the shady canyons of the sunflower fields on a summer morning.

In search of cool air we go to the little 2 star restaurant by the side of the canal. It's too early for croissants but the barrista digs out some oatmeal and date cookies. Sophie discovers that oatmeal and date cookies are to die for.
There is a houseboat on the canal. Someone inside is cooking bacon and eggs . Turns out to be a woman from Vancouver . She and her husband do twenty or so kilometres every day, stop off at some cafe or restaurant for lunch and then dock near a Michelin restaurant every night. We are the first English speakers they've come across in the five days they've been here. Sophie gets given a Jacobs Cream Cracker. This is gratefully received .

Time on a house boat enjoying the passing scenery with lunch cooked everyday and dinner at Michelin restaurants each night sounds great, and would be even better with a loved family companion along for the ride and early morning walks! Hopefully you got the houseboat hire company name if you, the Font and Sophie ever want a lazy summer holiday in France!
The Vancouver family would seem to have their holiday arranged to near perfection, although as suggested above, a family companion to help with the cream crackers, is perhaps needed to make things truly perfect.
We are inclined to bet the cream cracker was a poor substitute for bacon and eggs.
Tigger - You may be right. Sophie can smell bacon and eggs a galaxy distance away. A cream cracker not so much.
Sounds like a wonderful way to start the day, for man and Diva.
Inca is of the opinion that a cream cracker is better then nothing, unless there were a few Jaffa cakes on offer.
The houseboat holiday does sound idyllic, especially in good weather.
