Ruins, Dog, Water, and Namesake : June 11-13 (1)

As we have another road trip coming up this weekend, I have to quickly get one blog entry in from our last road trip.

On June 11-12, the Dog Agility French Championship was held near Lyon. So for the future reference :), Nathan and I decided to go have a peak. Of course we did not miss our own trainings: agility at 9:30 and obedience at 14:30. After a fun agility (still at the old place) and a depressing obedience (not us, other owners), we hit the road with a little KIA.

Ever since we found that random ruins (towers) on our way home from Evian, we are like ruin hunters. Especially if the map indicates there is something, we are going. Here are our findings! Cows and a tower, La tour de Clermont, dated 1107.




After seeing a ruin, we decided to go see a preserved castle in Virieu dated 11th to 18th century. We arrived there a bit too late to take a tour inside, but we will be back.
