Five years ago, while driving between holiday cottages in the south of France, I had to stop the car a few kilometers east of Auch for a stray dog on the road. With my animal loving wife, one does not simply ignore a lost or strayed creature. While she was trying to convince the little hound to come to her, a woman drove a car out of a lane to our right and got out to catch the dog. Looking up the slope from where she had come, I saw a beautiful little chateau on the hill. As the woman had control of the dog, my wife got back into our car and we continued a further hour and a half to our destination.
Some time later I was in conversation with my youngest sister about our travels and when I mentioned one of the towns we visited on our day of relocating between accommodations, she said her family had got together five years before for the wedding of her eldest son at a chateau just east of that town and she gave me the name of the place.
When I checked it out on the internet, I had the feeling it looked familiar. Going to Google street view, I realized that was where the dog, the only unleashed dog we had seen in two weeks in France, had run across the road in front of our car. My nephew and his wife got a great kick out of the fact we got to the location of their wedding five years late.
