Our journey' today Abril 25 we visited places that brought us to our origins : we visited Albi and Hauterive where we were received with a lit of love. We remembered histories of our St. Emilie around the chimney of the castle. In the litle church of the people where so many times Emilie prayed asking lights, and ond the Stone table where she announced to her father her project maturated in her hearth. To end our celebration a friendship that survived long time ago, flame burning in the heart of Leontine, St. Emilie de Villeneuve and Coraly de Gaix. The Gaix family made a big welcome to us with the warm Fiest!
