While we were there, we also visited Bergerac, a lovely small town, little shops, small restaurants and nice old houses.And of course there...

One part of the celebrations was a boatride through the canals of Amsterdam where they were seen & cheered by almost the entire proud Dutch nation!Today we decided to have our own boatride, on the river Seine. We thought it would be a...
