I had the great pleasure to spend Christmas this year in Chamant, France with my boyfriend and his family. This is a small town just Northeast of Paris in the Picardie region. One week after I had my appendix removed ( yes that was an extra gift this Christmas ) we packed the car and drove 8 hours West. Think huge horse farms, old French families and cozy stone villages. It was magical to spend this time with so many smiling faces and energetic friends. I had the best time reading, relaxing and taking walks with others. A huge thank you to all for the amazing company and to the Nonon family for having me. I could not have dreamed up a better experience for my first French Christmas if I tried. Below you will find photos of the the family, the small town of Chamant and the Château de Chantilly, a beautiful castle in the area.  I hope everyone had a great Christmas and fun welcoming in the New Year.

All the best for 2015 !
