Pictures: Chateau Pierreclos

So here are more pictures! :)

On Sunday, August 27, Mme. Lhomme took Brittany, Audrey, RĂ©mi and myself to Chateau Pierreclos, near Macon... we took a tour (fortunately, the tour guide knew French AND English) which was pretty fascinating and at the end, we got to sample wine! :) I had three kinds of white wine... all were good! ;)

This was the view as I got out of the car!
Here is Brittany...
This is the little chapel that was adjacent to the chateau.
And here we are in front of it. :) L to R: Brittany, myself, Audrey
The chateau kitchen... in the French explanation, I understood the guide to say that they used the hooks on the ceiling (you can see them on the underside of the archway in the picture) to hang dogs from... I assumed this meant that they ate dogmeat back then or something. In fact, it turned out that they hung the butchered meat on hooks in the ceiling to keep it FROM the dogs!! LOL!!! Audrey had a good laugh over that one. :)
And the wine cellar!
This is looking around outside, afterwards...
Vineyards seem to be within sight, any direction you look! :)

*sigh* Unbelieveably gorgeous!
How kind of the L'Hommes to take you and Brittany around.
And no wonder they say "The best part about having a daughter abroad for a year is getting to go visit her!" (j/k)
