The d’Esneval’s daughter Helene visited the chateau with 20
of her friends this weekend to celebrate Bastille Day! The whole event was a
bit overwhelming for me, mostly because of the language barrier. I do pretty
okay with most things one-on-one or in small groups, but when multiple people
are talking at the same time, I can’t understand anyone. They were all rather
nice, and one of them who had gone to law school in New York appointed himself
our guide on Saturday evening.
We had burgers on the grill, and it was a nice taste of
home. The fireworks started just after 11pm just after we finished dinner, and
we tried to see them from the lawn on the Chateau. Unfortunately, we could only
see the colorful glow around the trees that were blocking the view! I was
rather disappointed in myself for not wearing my French flag scarf for the
festivities.
