The historic Navarre Rock. The Navarre Chateaux, which
no longer exists, was once the home of Napoleon's Josephine. All that
remains is the Rock, a two story high structure that had water pumped
to the top where it would cascade down over the surface to cool her as
she rested in one of the niches behind the waterfall.
|
Jeff Lambert explaining that this is where Josephine
used
to rest during the summer as water came over the front. |
At Jeff' Lambert's home, Bill Lloyd presented him a
Certificate of Appreciation signed by all the vets for his help in making
the Open House weekend a huge
success. Patrice LeMao is looking on. |
