Summer holiday 2002
Charente − France

This year the summer holiday is kind of special, at least it is for me. This year we go for our annual holiday abroad by car, something we have never done before. This proves to be a great experience. We have decided to go to France (never been there before) and we have arranged a cottage for two weeks in a holiday resort named "le Chat" (the cat). This resort is situated in the vicinity of Montbron, which is a small picturesque town in the province of Charente. So, enjoy my vacation travel log about Charente, France.
