During The European days of patrimony/Journées européenne du patrimoine (19-20/9) we visited Abbaye de Varennes (Saturday) with its magnificent buildings, the former convent and the chapel.Met with the proprietor and also the American artist who - together with her husband - live and work in the mansion.
This house and chapel is otherwise not open to the public.
On Sunday we visited the well known Château de Bouges with, among other things, a fantastic 80 hectare park!
When arriving they closed for lunch (La France! Oh la la!).
While waiting for them to open, we visited the auberge close to the castle, ate good and went back to the château for a guided tour.
After this we went strolling in the magnificent park with its multitude of trees and verdure.
We also visited their garden/plantation with different kinds of flowers, magnificently arranged and the exhibition with wagons/coaches and gigs. Interesting.
A wonderful day!
