Chateau de Chantilly
1st visit to the chateau de Chantilly, which has the 2nd-most impressive collection of pre-1750 art after the Louvre, and ran into Maria, Lily and an English teacher from the lycee :-)

Mayor's reception
This afternoon we had the honor of being welcomed to Saint-Witz by the mayor, Germain BUCHET, who signed a dedicated copy of a book on the local area destined as a gift to our own Mayor Dolan. We had a chance to hear a bit of the history of Saint-Witz, which has always been very small in size while still holding historical importance over the centuries.
Special kudos to Rachel and Maria pour avoir faire la bise au maire!
