There is a little village near where we are staying called La Roche Guyon. It is on the other side of the Seine River from us just a little way down river from Giverny. There is a castle at the townwhich the Germans occupied in WWII it was held by a famous German soldier called Rommel.
There is a christmas market held at the Castle. We went with our friends Monique and Philipe. It was great fun, they had lots of locally made food and treats. We had handmade waffles with chocolate or caramel, apple and pear fizzy juice, ice creams and candied fruits. We also bought salted caramels and sausages made with cheese and onion, mushrooms and goats cheese (my favourite). they had flavoured salts, sugars and spices it smelt amazing. they also had jams, honey, beer and wines all made in the town.
