David's 60th Birthday - October 2010

We spent David's 60th Birthday weekend in Paris, travelling over on the Eurostar, and staying at the Hotel Scribe.  On the Saturday we went to Les Invalides in the afternoon before going to an excellent concert with Sir John Eliot Gardner conducting the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique.  The next day was spent exploring the Louvre, before going to another concert, this time at La Sainte Chapelle.  On the Monday we went to the Monet Exhibition, before going to Senderens in the evening for a truly memorable meal, returning home the following day.

France - May 2010

In May we travelled down to Provence and then back up the Rhone to Champagne before heading home.  En route we spent a delightful couple of days in the Loire visiting the Chateau de Rivau.
