Vézelay and Saulieu



We said good bye to Julie
and went to Vézelay...
We ride kayak on the Yonne...




In Vézelay
we visited the Wonderfull basilique.


Inside we learned a lot about
the religious architecture.







And then Saulieu,
the café Parisien
where dad will expose his pictures..


At night...




Dad and his friend Jean Marc, 
the owner of the café 
and a well known photograph.


 

Rosa Bonheur's castle

 


Amané read the biography 

of the painter Rosa Bonheur.

When Julie explained that her castle is just near

we went for a visit...


Wonderfull !!








« Mon père, cet apôtre enthousiaste de l'humanité, m'a bien des fois répété que la mission de la femme était de relever le genre humain, qu’elle était le Messie des siècles futurs. Je dois à ses doctrines la grande et fière ambition que j’ai conçue pour le sexe auquel je me fais gloire d’appartenir et dont je soutiendrai l'indépendance jusqu’à mon dernier jour. »


“My father, this enthusiastic apostle of humanity, has repeatedly told me that the mission of woman is to raise up mankind, that she is the Messiah of future centuries. I owe to its doctrines the great and proud ambition which I conceived for the sex to which I pride myself to belong and whose independence I will maintain until my last day. "


After the visit

swimming in the river Yonne

(in fact the Seine, in Paris,

should be called Yonne)
