Part 2 of our summer holiday found us going back to France. Louis and Keelin and family first came to London to spend a few days with us here and then we all headed to Nantes where our friends Jen and Nicolas were getting married in Nicolas’ home town.
We got to explore the main part of Nantes, have an amazing and authentic French dinner at Nicolas’ parents’ house and then enjoy the wedding kid free. Jen and Nicolas were so kind to arrange a babysitter for us so that we could relax and enjoy at least a few hours of the wedding. Congrats Jen and Nicolas!!
The next morning we were off with Louis and Keelin to St. Remy. We flew into Marseille and drove to an amazing villa in St. Remy where we then met up with Kristine and Aaron and family. This villa was quite massive to accommodate all of us so comfortably, complete with a swimming pool and tennis court. The kids had a blast with so much space to run around.
Over the course of the week we spent a day in the Rhone wine region, visiting Louis’ new favorite winery, Domaine de Marcoux, followed by a lovely lunch in the town of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. We drove into Avignon, visited the market and had lunch there. We relaxed at the villa, explored the cute little town of St. Remy and overall just enjoyed time with friends. The kids had a blast all together and with so much open space around the villa, they were free to roam and play without too much worry. We of course ate lots of cheese and baguettes and enjoyed French wine. 
It was such a fun time...we swore we must do this again!!
