Kid Fun in France
The whirlwind tour of the south of France is now history for my recent guests, including 10-year-old McKenna. Now that they’re gone, the words of Dr. Seuss’s poem seem perfect to share with McKenna as a reminder of our kid fun in France.
“You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…”
โ Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

Day One – Uzes
Saturday market shopping, then dinnerย at a favorite restaurant.
How many ways can you say “foie gras”? This entree featured foie gras as pate, ice cream and creme brรปlรฉe!
Day Two – Pont du Gard and Nimes
Tracing the Romans in France started with a visit to Pont du Gard. Wading in the cool river water was a perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day.
