Joyeux Noel

To All Our Friends
Merry Christmas

Simon & Susan

Four years ago we spent Christmas in Paris. On the afternoon of Christmas Day it seems that the whole of Paris descended on the Champs Élysées, and those who can find somewhere to park - or come by metro - walk up and down the street. The less fortunate seem to spend an inordinate amount of time sitting in their cars going nowhere much at all.

We hesitate to point out that Preuilly-sur-Claise never gets this busy, but it's true. Maybe that is one of the reasons we like the place so much.
