Chambres D´ Hotes - Looking, Looking. . . Looking(by Lettie) Hi, everyone. With some effort Becky and I intuitively discovered a Bed and Breakfast place (which here in France are called "chambre de hotes") and made our way to a hidden courtyard garden inside. I feel as if I have found, here at "Villa des Capucins", a slice of heaven and I am in need of it. The gardens, though overgrown from summer, are gorgeous and have a very natural look and appeal. The main house and additional quarters are quite interesting architecturally inside and out. I thoroughly enjoyed this place and our gracious hostess Madame Gbislaine Bore' I found her a bit reserved, impeccably mannered and attractively attired. She spoke no English and we gestured and pointed a lot to communicate with each other which seemed to work just fine.
After the constant moving that we had been guided to do with Terrie, I was hoping to slow down a little. I have been eating very little as the food in Ireland, Scotland and England has not suited my digestive needs. I hope I will find better fare here in France.
So, this time was to be a few days of rest and recuperation for

Villa des Cupcins me but the evening of our arrival I began to show symptoms of a cold. I was feeling pretty run down and was not surprised, but I had a hard time staying comfortable although I have plenty of heat here and this is a bonus as energy for heating is used very sparingly in most of Europe.
It's the next day. Becky and I both did energy work that stopped my cold from becoming full blown and for which I am quite grateful. Even so, climbing stairs is becoming quite a challenge for me. I have come to the conclusion that there are stairs everywhere in Europe. Here is no exception. I have a steep and narrow set to climb up to my room. I am not coming downstairs much and the weather is fussy anyway so that I am not comfortable for long outside. It didn't rain the first day, but today it did which did not help my cold. I am feeling pretty miserable, but so love it here that I figure it's a good place to be if you have to be sick.
Our third and last day. It is time to leave. I

Villa des Capucins - A Mystery really liked it here and have enjoyed myself. And, while here, I had another opportunity to do healing work that benefits nature and the people who live here. I usually learn something new each time and there's always something relevant for me personally in the process so I feel honored to contribute and serve in this way. On to the next adventure.
