It seems a little late to celebrate a season that will be over in a matter of days, but I found some photos of my first picnic of the year and thought I would share them with you.
I had been visiting my friend Corrine at her lovely chateau the afternoon before and came back with a few of her delicious eggs (free range obviously). We’d even been chased by her geese on our way back from the chicken coop at the end of the garden. If one should ever think one is too insignificant or too small to make a difference in this world or impose their views upon others, they should spend some time with geese. These bitches are fierce I tell you!
I do love to visit Corrine. Beyond the stately house, what I like most is the atmosphere her and her partner André have managed to create there. The way each room welcomes you and the sunsets alike. The way cats and dogs play and lay… Every little thing, from object to host inspires calm and instills well-being.
Anyway, over easy eggs, fresh salad and some cherry tomatoes, a blanket and a lawn… red wine and primroses everywhere… The perfect picnic!
My French heaven indeed.

Just found your blog quite by chance and I am so glad I did, another person who enjoys the real France and all it has to offer, sometimes it really is the most simple things in life that can bring the most pleasure, something that France is showing our children 🙂
Fresh spring food, pets, art, architecture, a cute pig thrown in, all amazing! Definitely Your French Heaven!
I’ve been traveling and busy and stressed, but your photos make it all better! Wow. Thanks.
Lovely!

My kind of picnic indeed. I love traveling with you, my friend, even if it is through a screen half way around the world. I am always excited when you post. You are my mini-vacation, my inspiration, my morning muse. Thank you for sharing another delightful field trip!
