Ja ich will !

As promised I will tell you about the wedding ceremony we attended last month. Two days before leaving for Corsica we went to a bridal celebration of mixed races, a French and German couple (thanks to them I met Kala). We left Friday as my Honey is on RTT (réduction de temps de travail) to get ready for the wedding the next day since the celebration was neither in Marseilles nor in Aix-en Provence. So the less haste the better right? Friday was an ideal time to leave home and it took us 7 hours to get to Auberge (An Inn) and not a Hotel. It would be complex to find a good hotel as we were in the middle of nowhere and it sounds as if there is one. As we took our destination the scenery are captivating and totally different from Marseilles. All along the way as we drove we found the environment warmer, with lush green trees, cleaner atmosphere…a heavenly splendid place. I wasn’t able to take pictures of the panorama as we thought we were not on the right track. The GPS lost his way so I needed to assist my Honey and looked for the direction meticulously. Arriving at the Auberge, the owner was extra nice. One of her employees took as to our room and we were also extra surprised to see the type of the room. It was too small with one queen size bed and another single bed apparently for the kids sad. Can you imagine we were like sardines and the room tariffs are by far too expensive. The carpet looks like it needs cleaning and well overdue or probably it is clean but very old. We have our toilet and bath but no door to close instead it was a block curtain that serves as a shutter. At least we were provided by clean towels, soap but no shampoo good thing I bought something with us! That night everyone took a shower before having dinner at their restaurant. Now, I cannot say anything against the restaurant as we did eat and that was a nice dinner. After a tiring day we finally had the chance to sleep and that the key way to recuperate is to get them.


The next morning, we strolled in the village and we found 3 “hotels” near the area and with the same services, I guess just the look from the exterior! Ah, the inconveniences of traveling. At 3 in the afternoon we prepared ourselves and get ready for the ceremony at 4:30 PM. They got married in the Region of Bourgogne, one part of France that I have never visited despite of the famous wines they have. Its capital is Dijon where Analyse and family live. I am certain in the future I will really love to visit this place if Analyse will tour me for free LOL ! The exact festivity took place in the Department of Nièvre at La Maire de Montapas (Mayor’s office of Montapas). It was the only wedding celebrated at that day. The ceremony was in French but was translated into German for the bride’s family and German friends. It was truly lovely to hear translation in German and everyone was giggling including the wedding couple and the Mayor’s representative! Indeed a joyful ceremony. At the end of the ceremony everyone’s busy taking the usual shot razz.

The reception was held blissfully that escorts to the enchanting beauty of the pristine loveliness of Chateau D’Anizy. The place is quite and ultra-romantic for wedding. In short, a place for peace, calm and beauty just perfect for a nature enthusiast.

Delicious appetizers were served....picture taking and picture taking once again. Discussion here and there, in French, German and English whew ! While dining in we have learned that a couple was also staying at the same Inn, totally unsatisfied and disappointed as well! We just stayed until 1 AM though we would like to stay late up night and go dancing but we needed to get back to our hotel room and get enough sleep for the next day will be another day. Sunday, preparing ourselves for an early departure coming back to Marseilles as much as possible to catch up the ship leaving at 8:55 PM for Corsica. There was even a brunch the next day (Sunday) but we were already heading our way back home. Anyway, that's the schedule and at least we were able to stay for the reception.

For the meantime, I will let you enjoy looking at the photos because I need to pack and get ready for tomorrow's departure for another wedding ceremony. A 3 days fcelebration which will be held in the
Alps biggrin.

The French countryside is just so soothingly cool to the sight, rustic and beautifully old---it could provide a relieving escape from the urban madness of cities.
