A Journey in France

When we visited about 3 years ago in France we stayed in a gite. If you are not familiar with what a gite is, ours was a cottage in a vineyard.  At our gite there was a donkey and we fed him apples.  It was so pretty when the sun went down we could see the sunset and we would have our afternoon snack outside. We ate these little yogurts called"petit suisse".  The house was very rustic, like old times.  It had a little coffee pot and the grandma rocking chair in the corner and a cute little table with pretty place mats and a beautiful vase with flowers that smelled like France.
Me and my sister would run though the vineyards racing to see who could get down the rows first. At the end there was a big splotch of grass we would jump in. It felt good the cool breeze, the sunset going down.  When I looked up to the sky, I could almost see the word France shaped out of the clouds.  If you haven't been to France I think you should go.  Written by: Solenne Dupre
