I think the Canadians call it rape seed or that its part of the same family as rape and mustard? Certainly they were growing it in Canadian prairies when I was there 20 years ago! It makes such a vibrant landscape when its flowering though and you can see it for miles. Sounds like you had a magical holiday. I do think war cemeteries are emotional for anyone, even if they are not your own countryfolk. It is a everlasting reminder of the cost of war.Sue SAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802460291741438603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221532976427272641.post-71636488524911092122017-04-27T10:36:14.633-07:002017-04-27T10:36:14.633-07:00Hi Norma, I'm so thrilled to discover your 1st...Hi Norma, I'm so thrilled to discover your 1st post after your visit in my country and our meeting in Nantes ! <br />It was so magical for me and spending time with you and Bruce was a perfect moment that I'm ready to forget :)<br />The name of the yellow plant is colza (in french) = canola in English. It's one of the three main sources of food plant oil in Europe.<br />Congratulations for your 1st project, I love it.<br />Thanks again for your precious smile and sweet voice. <br />Hearing you very soon, hugs<br />Nadine<br />Rouge Cerisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662902332502070005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221532976427272641.post-83076040331878800292017-04-27T10:10:35.673-07:002017-04-27T10:10:35.673-07:00bonjour de la France,

Can't believe that we sent 17 year olds to war. He was a part of the greatest generation.

It looks very much like similar fields I've seen in England. The oil is pressed out of the seeds and the remaining meal is, I believe, used for animal feed.Kristin Stonhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461167271130315594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221532976427272641.post-9562388260593188882017-04-27T05:10:15.163-07:002017-04-27T05:10:15.163-07:00The crop looks like rape.

I am sure the cemetery was very emotional. <br /> I remember the bread ( went to Paris on our honeymoon 20 yrs ago, and I remember the bread! LOL.) Excited to say we are taking our Children to Paris this summer and I ready mentioned the baguettes a few times to my daughter.
