Our French Friends IV

Our friends Marie-Madeleine and Sylvain visited for Sunday dinner with their children: Flavien, Grégoire, and Clotilde (left to right). Grégoire is 5, and the twins are 3. It was a lovely sunny day, so after eating we took a walk in the neighborhood, and the children had great fun at three successive aires de jeu (small play areas), with excellent slides and other play apparatus. There's one more at the bottom of our street, in the opposite direction.

They live a fair distance outside of Paris, so we generally visit just once a year. Here's Visit III, with links to the previous ones, with more information on our history (Marylee has known Marie-Madeleine's mother since meeting her at Oxford in the 1960s.)
