Our French Friends VI

We visited our friends Marie-Madeleine, Sylvain and their children again this year (starting early), at their home outside Paris, and for a short musical play at which Sylvain played his accordion. This is more or less the sixth visit I've blipped; the children are Clothilde and Flavian (twins aged 5), with Grégoire (7).  Here is the third visit, with links from the first two.  We visited Marie-M's parents last year in St. Dizier northwest of Paris.

Reiterating earlier comments: Marylee met Marie-Madeleine's French mother Anne when they were at Oxford in the late 1960s. Then when Marylee spent 19 months in Paris in 1990-91, Marie-Madeleine in her teens, stayed with Marylee when she came to Paris for weekly classical guitar lessons. Contact lapsed after that, but we reconnected in 2010 when we saw an announcement for a concert by Marie-Madeleine in Paris. Both she and Sylvain are professional musicians  with jobs teaching guitar and accordion (respectively) in the local school system.
