| Day 2 Princesse de Provence Tournus Morning excursion |
 |
| We woke up in Tournus. This picture is for MOMO. She loves sweet potato vines and urns. These were all along the wall above the dock. |

| Church of Saint Philbert |

| Wouldn't you know, this shop was closed. Moxie would have loved to turn those beautiful pillows into dog toys. |

| One of two Romanesque buildings in Burgandy |
| This shop is across from the church inside the fortress towers. |
| We seem to find kitties all over the world |
| Standing in front of the church looking to the right. |
| We climbed the tower and found this window looking down on the inside of the church. See the people in the bottom right? |
| The steps in the tower and the ghost of Jims arm |
| The courtyard with well |
| I loved these stained glass windows. I am kicking myself for not taking pictures of them all. Some were in shades of greens and golds like the colors of grapes. |
| Beautiful yellow lab. Notice how he positioned himself to make such a nice photo? Just like a lab. |
| This cat was crazy. It was trying to catch a butterfly that was flitting around the herbs in the window box. This is on the second floor. |

| The next place we visited was Cormatin Castle which was built in the Renaissance period |
 |
 |
| This was our tour guide. The best one we had the whole trip. She knew her stuff. |
 |
| This staircase was the first one in france to be built not using the spiral method. It reminded me of the movie the horseman on the roof. |
 |
| A small sample of how the interier was painted. They used crushed lapis for the blue and lots of powdered gold. |
 |
| Reflection of the garden in the window. |

 |
| The formal gardens. |
| Vegetable gardens, I wished I had more time. I was running as it was and once again, the last one back on the bus. This is a gourd vine on a trellis shaped like a tree. |
| How do you say NO in French? |
| Anita this pic is for you |

| The cloister |
| Look at these day lillies |
