Les Bons Matins

This is our third visit to the gite, Les Bons Matins.  Over the years, the breakfast offering has contracted, but since my waisteline has not, less is probably a good thing.  We happily dined on Eggs Benedict and OJ, with good strong coffee.  We are located, to our surprise, very close to the "manifs" or demonstrations.  Police presence is huge.  Doug and I went for a walk last night, but stayed clear of what looked like more than boisterous celebrations.  On Sunday, we expect to see a large event because the Grand Prix Formula 500 moves into high gear.  I feel ambivalent about the whole thing - it is a complicated problem.
