Panchotexane, the bluebonnet of the Alps

For those who are curious about Ardeche, I'll introduce Ardeche as a peaceful and charming departement of France. (See the map below for the location and this link: http://www.ardeche-guide.com/ )

It is known as a nice place for canoe Kayak, canyoning, hiking, rock climbing, music festival, wine and so... to be honest I really like that place. It's as nice as Isère or Drome to be fair lol!!

Well, let's get to the main subject: Chris; Last week-end he was celebrating his thirteenth birthday at his parent's place in Ardeche with all his friends.
His parents have this amazing big and old fashion south of France type of house. Plus, from their pool, they have this incredible view on a lake.

I was almost forgetting Martin, their little donkey, nice but very loud!! LOL

When we got there, we had the perfect weather to jump in the pool.
Later on, we played ping pong and petanque. A famous and typical game in France, for those who would like to know more about Petanque, I'll direct you to: http://petam.com/petanque.htm



Chris was really happy with his birthday presents, a nice camera and lots of little crazy things.
