<p><br />
Just about a year ago, in November and December of 2024, we spent six weeks getting into the holiday spirit in Europe. <br />
We spent time in Germany, France and Spain. The photograph comes from the Alsace village of Riquewihr, where we spent a few days in a part of France that was new to us. Not surprisingly, the place was all tricked out for Christmas.<br />
<br />
One reason to target Alsace for this visit was that we were driving down with relatives from Germany, and this region and Germany are close geographically and culturally. (As I understand it, the local dialect is deeply influenced by German.) It was a charming region, at least in the less-busy winter season. It is filled with small villages, separated by vineyards in many places, and it has a wonderful local cuisine.<br />

<p>CHATEAU DE CHENONCEAU – Les visiteurs par grappes<br />
<br />
En été il y a foule. On ne peut pas le nier. <br />
Difficile de repérer ceux qui sont là pour apprendre quelque chose et ceux qui suivent. <br />
Qui suivent le mouvement, les membres de la famille, le guide qui raconte des histoires. <br />
Qui chassent l’ennui, qui cherchent un sens à leur vie en cumulant des expériences culturelles. Qui justifient le besoin de visiter par une horreur de vide vacancier. Parce que comment dire aux autres, « tu étais si près et tu n’as pas vu ? ». <br />
Un suiveur, ce n’est pas toujours évident à identifier. <br />
Le mimétisme avec le touriste passionné est indiscernable.</p>
