It’s not Memorial Day weekend in France (given, this Monday is not a French holiday). But still, a year ago this weekend was a big deal for us in Nantes. It marked the return of the Royal de Luxe marionette company. I know I’ve talked about this many times before, but it really was a big deal for us, especially for Melinda. The weather was not only spectacular, the whole town shut down to celebrate.

I went to my photo archive for today’s photo, a picture I took last May in Nantes of a street poster announcing the return of the Royal de Luxe. And I point you to this entry I wrote a year ago today for more detail. You really should check this out.
