Montataire, the town of Gilda's ancestors
We left Gilda's family to go to Montataire (France), the hometown of Gilda’s ancestors, and see if we could find our more about Gilda's ancestors. We arrived in the late afternoon, so we had not to much time but we went to he cemetery were here great-grand parents are buried and found a lot of other graves of (distant) relatives. As the cemtery closed and we als had to find a place to sleep we diceded to do soem more research teh next day.
As it was evening and we need a sleep we drove around to find this nice place for just €28,00 a room. A bit like the F1 style of hotels but just a bit better. Also they had a nice restaurant were we had a nice meal.
Next morning we went to the town hall of montataire to see if we could find out more about Gilda's family history. There was a ladyworking at "Le Marie" that was ever so helpful and provided us with all the information we wanted. She took our address and promissed to send the transcrips of birth and death record to our home address.
Also we went back to the cemetery as now we new a bit more about Gilda's ancestry. I took a lot of pictures of the headstones of (posible) related persons, with the intention to show them to Gilda's grand-mother (99 years in august 2004), and see what she can remember.
After having visited Montataire we drove on towards Normandy. We drove all the way to Rouen were we slept in one of the convenience hotels called Formule 1 (F1 for short). The address F1 Rouen Est, D138 ZAc du Champ Cornu, 76240 Le mesnil-Esnard France. Phone: 0033(0)891705372. No luxury, but just a room with one double bed and one single bed, a TV and thats all. Showers and toilets in the hall, but they are really clean, as they are cleaned and disinfected automatically after each use.
Price €23,00 for the room and for € 6,80 per person extra you have a big breakfast. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate, bread, butter, jam, serials, milk, orange juice as much as you can drink or eat.
