C'est magnifique!


Left Tournon and continued to Le Pouzin where we moored in a peaceful spot with stunning far-reaching views of the river, tree-covered hills and rocky gorges which shimmered in silver, pink and gold as the sun set.
So far Andy has been very complimentary about my ability to chat in french.  A gentleman walking along the riverside spoke to us. I answered politely and explained that the view was “magnifique.” The gentleman nodded and walked on. Andy asked me what he had said and I had to admit that I had no idea! Andy’s faith in my french is now shattered and he takes great pleasure in answering any of my queries with a remark about the view.
