Mathias is as delighted as Nicolas, Mathieu and Cylia to climb on top of the Defender for the souvenir photo.

The Lebourg family, back in France since June, invite us for lunch during which we exchange our feelings about our travels and the return back home.

Ah! Paris is beautiful! We play the casual tourists and go see the illuminations despite the cold. This time it is the REAL Eiffel tower not the LasVegas copy!

19 October - 20 November : PAU
We meet again with Jean-Luc family and keep on eating a lot of good food!

The kids start teaching "Texas Hold'em" poker to everybody. Speak about travelling as an education process...

They also enjoy playing with their cousin Ewan.

We are back in the moutains close to the Pic du Midi d'Ossau in the Pyrenees for a one day hike.
