Corinne Found!

Our sleuthing came to fruition when we located Corinne in St-Loup-sur-Thouet, just as we suspected.  She is indeed the owner of l'Exppresso Pizzeria Grill.

She recognized us and in her generous spirit, didn't charge us for our tea and coffee.  To her surprise, we then offered her the book along with our thanks.

I think she was moved by the gesture and seemed genuinely happy.

As time goes on, it's people who matter most.
