July: Musique des Lumieres

Arriving for our last concert on this tour at Notre Dame de la Paix which is beside the Abbaye Ecole de Soreze where we stayed and which houses this festival. We were hoping for some hot southern weather on our last day, but the tour ends as it began - lots of rain. There was, however, a brief and lovely bit of sunshine through the clouds at concert time - meaning that we could make our entrance without getting drenched!

This was our hotel, part of the Abbaye grounds and a few minutes from the church so we could dress in our own rooms which is quite luxurious.

Our daytime adventure was that we had been told that there was a handwritten sign of welcome on a door, so we went to find it. As Matt was writing a note on the blackboard by the front door...

...the signer of the note, Leo, appeared at the door...

... and invited us in to show us his spectacular apartment where he lives and makes art when not in L. A.
