Map of Claude (at Saint Avertin) in Vonnette (3 rue Fauveau in Clamart, a retirement home) 18 August 1979

 My dear Vonnette,

I hope you recognize the Poitevin church with all its embroidery and roofs in pine apple scales.... 200 years to build it – what will remain in 200 years of the Pompidou Museum and other functional DIY?

I left the collective life of Normandy to find my "my" home and "my" garden with pleasure. The vegetable garden is full of vegetables and I make good food. Renaud is at home a happy companion. Big kisses. I hope you're okay. Claude and Cie.

Granie to Vonnette card:
Saint Raphael, 14
You recognize the Esterel: the red rocks are overhanging here instead of living on the waterfront, as in Trayas. This hotel was built by the English, in 1900 they gave it to the Army after the war. I had a wonderful time this first week, but today there is a storm and cold. The entrepreneurs have not yet ruined the steep and wild area, because of the stones it remained wild and very flowery. I will return on Thursday it must be on the 28, they give me 3 weeks. What luck, the boredom these journeys are by train, I don't do it anymore. By a card of Claude we see it enchanted from Spain. Don't think too much about the government, it seems to be beating from the wing.
