France- Ile de Re'

Hi again! Michael and I are back in France for another round of fun, food and fashion! Just kidding about the fashion it just rhymed.  We started off with a little hiccup of lost luggage for two days but found ourselves waiting it out in a charming little village just an hour outside of Paris called Arras.  Why not just stay IN Pairs? Well, fashion week of some sort will keep you out.  Think Sundance, inflated rates and just basically sold out. Errrgh...
Luggage in hand and back on track we hop in the rental and head to the Northern Coast just above Bordeaux.  We are relaxing on the island of Ile de Re' and town of La Rochelle. Land of freshly cultivated oysters and fleur de sel.
