Herbeville: Population 1,000, maybe with 500 cows

I went on a mini vacation with the Manet's out to the French countryside! About an hour outside of Paris is this adorable little village called Herbeville, which is known for it's Antiquities and outdoor markets. Although very tiny, less than a thousand people live there. It is practically untouched by all of the dirt of Paris. Situated in grassy knoll surrounded by farmland. The town itself has one Mairie (town hall) which just happens to be attached to it's sole ecole (school). The Manet's friends live right on the outskirts of the town limits, far away from the little village. The old home reminded me of something that my Mom dreams about living in one day. The family said that that house had belonged to their family for over 150 years and that they think it was built a little over 300 years ago.

Right in the town...


Raphy getting a push from Suzanne

The lovely view...
Overall very fun, except the ride to and from as I got to partake of the joy that is Jasmine's carsickness. Let's just say I feel really really bad for her.
