19 avril 2009, Beaune to Montluçon

SUNDAY

We drive into centre-ville to get another quick walk around Beaune before hitting the road to Montluçon.

Toll ticket we picked up in Beaune

Pour votre sécurité. Toutes les 2 heures la pause s'impose (For your security. Take a break every two hours)

Mustard field. Paying the toll as we get off the autoroute in Montluçon.

Stopped in downtown Montluçon for lunch.It is surreal, but very awesome to have my parents in Montluçon.

Dad standing next to Marx Dormoy. Dormoy was born in Montluçon and later became mayor from 1926-40 meanwhile he also served other regional political positions. In 1940, he voted against giving power to the Pétain government resulting in his arrest. In 1941, he was assassinated by La Cagoule, a French fascist group.

Mom goes with me to do the recylcing.

From the dining room, Dad watches Monsieur Champeyrol (my landlord) work in his garden.

Mom, Dad, Becky (my roommate), and I go to La Vie en Rose for dinner.
