Chantilly

This week, we went to visit Linda, a lady we met at Pierrefonds back in August when my parents were visiting. She works with a mission group in Chantilly.

After a delicious lunch, we went to the Chantilly stables, but found to our dismay that both the stables and the castle were closed on Tuesdays. So we admired the castle from the outside.


We also visited the Chantilly church.

They had a nice crèche set up inside. You'll see that the manger is empty; baby Jesus only shows up on Christmas.

At least *some* countries recognize the concept of Advent. Here they play Christmas songs until it's actually Christmas. Then during the actual twelve days of Christmas, they stop playing Christmas songs.
