Peppermint Patty calls Charlie Brown to brag about being sent to Europe as a foreign exchange student with Marcie. To her dismay, Charlie Brown and Linus are also going. Snoopy and Woodstock join them. Everybody says "Bon Voyage" and Lucy yells "and Don't Come Back!". Charlie Brown receives a letter from Violette Honfleur inviting him to stay at the Château du Mal Voisin (The House of the Bad Neighbor). They fly to London and take the train to Dover crossing the channel on the boat.
This doesn't have the childhood isolation of other Peanuts stuff. The adults talk. The gang is reduced to the six characters. Going to France is going to another world. This is still a nice journey outside of the strictly traditional Peanuts world. It has the great childish wonder. I just wish the whole gang is there with them.
