Travels in France

Ah, to return to France, pass a week in Paris, sketch for a full day in the Musée du Louvre.

Another leisurely week driving through the Loire Valley visiting Châteaux: Chinon, Langeais, Ussé, Azay-le-Rideau, Cheverny, Troussay, Beaugency, Angers, Saumur, and of course, Chenonceau, with its hedge maze, and Chambord, pictured above. A brief drip through Brittany and Normandy includes a few days at Mont Saint-Michel. Abbaye de Fontevraud is amazing and one of my new favorite sacred sites. And I could retire in Leonardo DeVinci's house in Amboise, Clos-Lucé.

Several Veriditas pilgrimages to Chartres from Grace Cathedral in San Francisco invited my creation of a secret garden medieval style labyrinth for the School of the Sacred Feminine.

Solo exploration of Burgundy inspired the beginnings of a time travel novel: Arcy-sur-Cure prehistoric cave paintings, Alésia Gallo-Roman Site at Alise-Ste-Reine where Caesar finally defeated the Celts, Mary Madeleine's Basilique in Vézelay, the Guédelon Chantier Médiéval 13th century living history 30 year castle building project near Saint-Fargeau, medieval river villages likes Noyers, and Abbaye de Fontenay.
