Even though its not a New England fall, France has its share of autumnal colors as well. This cornucopia was in the courtyard of the Château Villandry. I think that all of the produce was from the gardens that surround the chateau.
We also participated in la vendange (grape harvest). At a vineyard called Champalou, we helped the family pick grapes! The French love their wine, and love celebrations, so a celebration all about wine was quite an experience. There were lots of neighbors, friends, and visitors helping with the harvest, and we would pick a little, drink a little, pick a little, eat a little, and repeat. Then, for lunch, we had a big picnic outside with the family. It lasted 3 hours, and included numerous bottles of wine, french pastries, and lots of singing.
Most of the foliage turns a brownish color before falling, but there are a few trees like this one that remind me a little bit of home.
