If it's loose, pull it off
So we've had a busy few days in the land of the French, mostly spent peeling wallpaper off the walls.
On Sunday we went to Fougeres, a local town, and did a bit of exploring. We saw a Chateau and 'tromp l'oeil' (an optical illusion of some buildings, painted on a building).

After finishing stripping one room, we have now moved on to another, stripped the wallpaper and prepped it for its first coat of colour next week. (I am assuming you are interested in our decorating progress!)

We've also done a bit of outside work, clearing out a wood shed - where we found our friend, Mr. Toad.
Got a bonus dinner from Jon (whose house we're decorating) this week and booked to come to Paris, where we are now!
We arrived last night and spent today in Versailles, mainly at the Palace - where we saw lots of gold things, some lovely gardens and a room with lots of mirrors.
We now have the weekend to explore Paris! I'm excited as I have never really been to Paris before (bar a couple of trips to Disneyland Paris) and Alex is excited to show me around as she is a big Paris fan!
