Tilburg & 's-Hertogenbosh (Den Bosch), Holland

One of the great advantages of living and/or travelling throughout Europe is the ability to visit so many countries due to the close proximity of the boarders and the various affordable travel choices of getting there. We are currently in Holland at Etten-Leur, enjoying a short holiday break.

Chasse aux oeufs (Egg hunt) au Château-jonc la roche faton

 Every year on Easter Monday, the owner of this magnificent 15th Century Château opens up the grounds for the children to experience the joy of an Easter Egg Hunt. Château-jonc la roche faton is just a 4 mins drive up the road from ''au pont" and a great scenic bike ride or walk if your prefer the exercise to burn off the chocolate and wine calories!

The Château grounds

Oh yes! found just a couple of eggs....

Mulled wine (vin chaud) and it was absolutely delicious!

 

Moi, volunteering to work on the day. Pete had been there all day setting up and preparing for the event. We are both on the Comité des Fêtes (the commite that organises the functions in Gourgé). It is a great way to immerse ourselves into the French way of life.

Even us adults took part in the fun
