Museum of resistance and dad's exhibition

Morning in Jean Marc's house near Saulieu

And because it's in the Morvan forest

there was a nice museum

about the differents maquis of resistance.

Girls from Morvan during resistance.

Daddy prepared his exhibition.

We helped little bit...

 

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

(in fact the Seine, in Paris,

should be called Yonne)

Bye bye primary school

Like mum, like dad,

Amané cried so much for the last day of school.

She could talk with a lot of people who are working there

and that she appreciates all day long.

She went out in the arms 

of a teacher in her kindergarten, 

then she passed into

 the arms of her CM1 teacher, Cm2. 

It was hard for her. 

I admit that I also had a few tears ....

We offered her a beautiful present

from Jiji and Baba,

and we decided to celebrate at the restaurant !

During the week-end, 

while she was still a little depressed,

we went to a 

concert Captain Parade, 

with her friend Elona, 

and there was a party for the last bye bye 

to her friend Youna.

Take advantage

 and take care

 of all these strong 

emotions Amané !!

 

End of primary

An other, Wonderfull appreciation

from Amané's teacher !

I'm so proud of her !

She's got everything !

Of course she's very sad to quit 

the school she went for 9 years:

teachers, and all people working there

but also the building itself.

 

Unique kid again

Youna came back to her home.

Amané could appreciate Jiji and Baba 

big presents !

And went to her bed for reading !

She missed it !

 

Some days with Youna

Youna is in CM2, too, 

but not in the same class as Amané.

She'll leave Angoulme next month.

She stayed with us at home for 5 days.
