Our Special Thanks

All villages were proud of being selected as the most beautiful villages of France and they greeted and welcomed us cheerfully. Many of them showed interest to talk to this helpless old couple from the East and helped us. Beautiful environment and sceneries, friendly faces of the villagers and colorful local traditions and cultural heritages remain vividly in our hearts and in our cameras as well. Cathedrals and churches remain the center of the villages with the sound of chu

Story of a Japanese Couple in Retirement to travel to all the villages

When my wife Reiko and I were visiting France in the summer of 2008, beautiful sceneries of a small village in a Japanese travel magazine caught our eyes. It was about the village called ‘Gerberoy’ in the region of Picardie, north-west of Paris, apparently very famous for its roses. We immediately rushed to the village.

A small problem with the locking mechanism on the C3 in Imperia, Italy was repaired in less than hour
