A Typical Day in Lucon

Below is an illustration of what we have come to love about our little haven in Lucon. Little towns are underestimated for their hidden pizazz...

#1. Walk to the boulangerie

#2. Walk by the Cathedrale and feed the birds

#3. Practice before the big tour

#4. First leg of tour begins with Zep the miniture horse

#5. Say hi to Catywampus

#6. Walk to the Garden Dumain for second leg

#7. Meet high school fans in the garden

#8. Take over the town at night
