We finally headed out for our days activities. Along the way we stooped along the Canal Bourgonge had a nice lunch in the shade along the canal.
We then headed on to the Cateau Bussey-Rabitin. He was a scoundrel that made fun of Loius XIV and was put into exile in this Chateau. He spent his days collecting art and making fun of the royal court.
The estate also had really nice gardens including a labyrinth though it was a bit hot in the sun.
The photo of Carolyn holding the umbrella for Emily is a hoot. Check this out Carolyn…”A lady-in-waiting is a female personal assistant at a court, royal or feudal, attending on a queen, a princess, or a high-ranking noblewoman. Historically, in Europe a lady-in-waiting was often a noblewoman from a family highly thought of in good society, but was of lower rank than the woman whom she attended. Although she may or may not have received compensation for the service she rendered, she was considered more of a companion than a servant to her mistress.”
