Our first Bastille Day

On Wednesday we went to Le Mesnil (just outside Paris) for lunch with some people we met on house exchange, their names are Fabrice and Laurence. We had lunch and then went for a walk around the suburb and then we walked through the forest. The forest was bright green and had lots of bugs. Most of the houses didn’t have fences, which really added to the sense of community within the suburb. When we arrived home we went out for dinner in Vernoil with Dominique and Rachel . Their daughter in law was singing at the restaurant which made a great end to our first ever Bastille Day.
