During World War II, the boundary between free and occupied France was just a few kilometers away from Lily's house in Barie. The owner of their "house," then a stable and part of a larger estate, was a woman known for riding a blue bicycle, who according to the story helped aid and smuggle Jews and French resistance fighters across the state line. A book and a movie have apparently been made about this amazing lady, who personally sold the Royer's (Lily's family) their house a couple years ago!!! Incroyable!
The next bit o' pics are from the following weekend, when the weather was warmer than it had been before or since, and Colin and I went to Cap Ferret, a peninsula about an hour from Bordeaux...
