On my way to Lyon, my train stopped in Paris, so I got a chance to meet up with Christine again for one more day in the city and to spend a day in the village she grew up in, Compiégne. Her parents and younger sister still live just outside the city of Compiegne in a tiny village, Villet sur Coudan, about 80 kilometers north of Paris.
