Montmarte

This morning, we had the pleasure of meeting the genealogist who did some research on the people that helped our father.   She is lovely and shared stories of other assignments and the process of getting documents in a country with privacy laws more robust than the U.S.

We took the metro to Château Rouge to find the corner for the obligatory photo.   The cafe is now a gift shop, but the Le Consulat persists and guided us to that location.

We also received a note from our air bnb host Sandrine.   This is near the house at which my father was hidden and subsequently captured.   It sounds like we will meet people who remember the people who hid my father and other allied airmen.

Subject: You're coming

Hello Joseph and Edie

You're coming😁👍​

It is tomorrow that I will have the great pleasure to see you at last!​

I look forward to introducing you on Saturday to the fraternal side of our region. That's what I found in your dad's book. And, I'm sure he'll be there as well this Saturday. I intend to block you from 10:15 a.m. to 1PM.​

Maybe you've already arrived in France or Belgium? I hope all goes well.​

Do you know your arrival time for tomorrow?​

 I give you the address: ​

28 rue Louis Bauchet 62138 Violaines:entrance next to the barrier and  on your right. you can park inside the garden yard.

There is just a small change due to small technical problem on the other house. So you will be installed in a new house with the garden in addition. It has no stairs and this is my favorite.  You will be very well settled and I absolutely want to!​

I have other surprises in store for you when you arrive because in France we are always surprised!​

See you tomorrow and have a good day​

well cordially​

Sandrine​
