OUR FIRST VISIT 1979

See if you recognise any of the faces from the past!

Visit from Plaisir, 2008.

The first visit was to Somerleyton, for afternoon tea.

The second day was to Norwich, to see The Arcade and Elm Hill.

On Saturday we went to Cromer….

….then on to see the seals at Blakeney.

Visit to Plaisir 2009

This was the thirtieth anniversary of our first visit to Plaisir in 1979.

On the first day (Wednesday), we walked round the town, then had a picnic in the Chateau park.

We went to the Grand Marnier "factory",

then on to a new Theatre in Plaisir. Apparently, famous singers go there to rehearse, and young Plaisirois use it, keeping them out of trouble.

Thursday was our day in Paris. Peter took us to Monmartre,

then we went on the canal St Martin. We waited for Peter to get back from parking the coach, so that he could join his daughter on the trip.

Friday, we went to Dreux, first to the Chapelle Royal,

then a walk round the town,

and finally to a wine museum.

The Museum had lots of furniture and wine making things from the older days. We had a wine and cider tasting; the wine was very young.

This is a boat used to transport the wine.

Saturday, we spent with our host families, then an early start for home on Sunday.
