Jean Monnet's House

Today , we visited Jean Monnet's house in Houjarray ( Bazoche-sur-Guyonne)

Jean Monnet who, as you all know better now,  is one of the founders of Europe ( not to be mistaken with the painter Claude Monet !!)
We listened to a great talk by a nice lecturer on how the E U was ( sorry  is !! ) being built.
Here are a few photos of our visit .

No doubt Mylène has found his bedroom/study interesting !!!

Don't hesitate to post comments and tell what you thought of this visit ( In English of course !!)
Have you learnt anything new and interesting  ?
