Holiday in France

We have recently returned from a short holiday in France, taking in the towns of Limoges, Angoulême, Bonneville, Hiersac, and briefly Verneuil-sur-Vienne. The ultimate reason behind this jaunt was to attend the Burtt(s)chell Family reunion, an opportunity for Teddy to meet 60 odd international cousins! We have however totally fallen in love with this area of France.

The reunion got  write up in the local
paper. 

Table decor with the flags of the three branches of the family. 

Ted outside the church in Bonneville (where reunion took place). 

The obligatory look around the cemetery, a part of all family reunions, this one in Bonneville.

An amazing chapel in the butchers quarter of Limoges.
