Nous voilà arrivés à Allones.
Here we are visiting Allones. This town name sounding like : alone.
Well done Leonore! And Toki who joined her on Thursday!
Département 72 Sarthe as in Sonnet 72
Rappel des indices / Some explanations about the clues
Our guide was Mr Shakespeare... , don't feel lonely, together,
then the quote from King Lear could give you the answer : we two (alone) will sing like birds in a cage.
Cette fois, notre guide fût William Shakespeare. Le sonnet 72, seul, ensemble et le mot manquant dans l'extrait du Roi Lear cité ci-dessus.
Bienvenue dans la Sarthe, ancienne province du Maine, près de la ville du Mans, renommée pour la course automobile des 24 heures, les fameuses rillettes et la naissance d'Henri Plantagenêt en 1133.
In this aera, you're in the Sarthe department, old province of Maine, near to the town of Le Mans, well known for the Car race "the 24 hours", charcuterie and pork rillettes and the birth of King Henry II in 1133.
Funny to link Maine street and the Maine state...

A mardi prochain ! Comme il vous plaira !
That was fiendish! Well done to the two travellers who arrived safely. I now have a better understanding of how your mind works so I shall try better this week. Lovely visuals in this post, a really treat for the eyes. I love the Bothy Threads design and the clever quilt too.
RépondreSupprimerA very tricky start, I'll have to try to pronounce French words as an English person instead of the French way. Well done to those who arrived safely, I enjoyed my detour hee hee
RépondreSupprimerI agree with Clare, living 40 odd years in Spain has made me pronounce words as a Spanish would, interesting game. I hope to have time this week to `study the situation´ . I´m Sheryl - why am I showing up as `anonyme´ ?
RépondreSupprimerOh, what a fun trip to the town of Alonnes, I like it here! Love all the examples of crafting you looked up tpp, there was even a cross stitch pattern I have made before. I'm looking forward to the next etape this week!
RépondreSupprimerIt was a very difficult problem. But as Claire said , detours are also fun.
RépondreSupprimerI love flying pigs. Shakespeare’s quitls are wonderful. And, I'm stitching a Bothy Threads Christmas kit.
After stopping at an old bookstore, I head to the next town.
