    Arles and Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

    Roman Arena, Van Gogh garden, wandering the streets. Fantastic town with history to rival the romans.

    Chateau Chombard

    October 3, 2017 in France ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    Called into a boutique, chocolatier on our way to the Chateau Chombard. Handcrafted chocolates from tea sets to sheep to life size cars! Em loved the choc 'water feature' and tried to rate the diff choc from around the world, Jess liked the creations hand made from choc. After the detour onto The chateau, a wonderful example of French architecture and extravagance. Built in the 1500's the chateau was used by royalty, government and even as a field hospital during the war. It was abandoned many times and has some colourful history attached. We loved the tapestries, soft fabric wall, cool spiral staircase and outside rooms.
    Staying in Mer, nice little apt with some English stations on T V :)    Read more

    Villers-Bretonneux to cousins

    October 4, 2017 in France ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    Visited the war memorial. The village of Villers Bretonneux has a special relationship with Australia through war. The Australians fought to capture many of the towns, bridges, important vantage points all over this area of Northern France. Very moving, especially seeing graves of soldiers who were only in their teens.
    Then on up to cuddles with Willem and Annabelle xx    Read more

    Portumna

    October 8, 2017 in Ireland ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

    Learnt a bit about the castle, went inside and checked out the grounds. Found a fantastic kitchen garden. We spent ages in here, sampling some of the fruits, playing in the maze and just waking around. Just beautiful. We then walked back into town, passed an old Abbey, checked out (and some old gravestones). Had lunch in a nice pub, then home where Hilary started dinner, using her rosemary from the castle garden.Read more
