Europe - Day 7 - Marnay

May 31,

Marnay is the little town where Lionel's grandparents used to live, and where he spent a lot of his summers when he was a kid. His grandparents are gone, and their house was sold a few years ago, but we still got to see it from across the bridge. We also walked by the church where Lionel was baptized, by a sports area named after his grandfather (who was the town's doctor) and by the local cemetery. Both Lionel's grandma and grandpa are buried there, and we also found the names of other people who I am assuming were also family. They are from a long time ago, but it was sad to see the names of 3 children who died when they were less than 2 years old.
