May 3 Orléans

We took it easy again to day and headed into Orléans to wander about, hit a café, check out a market, etc.  Here's a picture from today.


This building is said to be Jeanne d'Arc's house (47°54'3.3"N, 1°54'09.4"E).  From all I've read, however, it is a reconstruction of a building she may have spent a few days in when she came throught Orléans in 1429 to liberate it from the dreaded anglais.  We didn't go in but we did find a nice café across the street for an expresso.


Just sipping some Cheverny, Cuvee Royale, 2010 as I finish this.  Cindy made some fine gnocchi tutti mare for dinner tonight donc la vie en France est merveilleux.

      Achètes ou fais le gnocchi comme d'habitude avec votre sauce préférée, mais ajoutes un paquet de mélange de fruits de mer à la sauce. C'est ça, simple.
