Only 15 min Away

Heather and I have been doing language exchanges (half French half English) with Mary Bouchut, the sweetest French woman ever who wans to keep up her English after having been in Australia for six months. She took us to some towns right nearby St Etienne on Sunday that can only be reached by car but are breathtaking. We saw two castles, one near St Just St Rambert and one in Chmables before having delicious cinnamon and pistachio hot chocolates. Even better Mary lives one floor above our friend Jack who was cooking us all a delicious meal of shrimp salad and coq au vin that night.
