Roger Martin Du Gard

Our last couple days in the countryside:




We also visited Roger Martin Du Gard, the infamous au reminisce author of Les Thibault. Pauline's friend is friends with the granddaughter of RMDG, and she gave us a special tour of his home. My grandmother had the time of her life, and I am sure this will be an experience I can when I become intellectual.





His back yard = forest

The granddaughter told us that he designed this himself, so that he would be able to see the city in the distance between his trees. However, about 12 years ago, a great storm hit, and many of the trees were destroyed which is why many of them are so tiny.


Panorama effect, not too shabby eh?

Front of the house

They would very much like to turn this house into a museum, but they don't have the means. Such a disappointment.
