This was my first time in France. Our destination: Monkey Mountain. La Montagne des Singes, or "Monkey Mountain," is home to 300 Barbary Macaques from all around the world. You can see the monkeys in their natural environment doing monkey things: grooming each other, playing around, swinging in the trees, and eating. I especially enjoyed watching the mommas taking care of their babies. At the time of our visit there were 16 baby Barbary Macaques. They were so tiny and cute! Upon entrance you are given a handful of popcorn to offer to the monkeys as a snack. As you wander down the path, the monkeys will come and sit on the railing, waiting for a little treat. Natalie got tickled at them eating out of her palm, and Avree enjoyed watching the movement.
With
still a little time to kill, we stumbled upon a gingerbread museum. We
weren't actually sure what there was too see, but it looked like a
sweet shop and we wanted to check it out! The company, Fortwenger, has
been making gingerbread since 1768. The Gingerbread Man took us through
an interactive trail where we discovered his history, recipes,
traditions, as well as a possibility too see the production in action.
We got there shortly before closing, but if in the area again, we will
indeed check it out! And of course, we got a little snack for the road. Suagr & Spice & Everything Nice,
God Bless,
