  • Carcassonne day 1

    May 30, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Tough day getting here. So the meal at Agapé was welcomed but a typically three hour seven course meal was probably wasted on us, being so tired to really enjoy it. Meal and wine were fabulous and I would recommend Agapé to anyone.

    First proper day was a bit overcast but still warm. A thirty minute walk to la cité was good and we wandered around there visiting the cathedral of st nazairé again. Lunch in the cauldron restaurant was very nice with duck gizzard salad tried for first time which was very good. A gentle walk back to the apartment for 3 pm for a bit of relaxation.

    Aboarding a boat upon the canal du midi with Jacqueline and Michelle.

    Learned bits and pieces of French history like how the original water locks were wooden.

    Was cold at points but was a relaxing trip.

    Was visiting the Palais des papes in Avington. Was a very big castle with lots of sights

    The gardens were also very cosy but it was really hot!

  • Menton

    June 8, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    A wee day trip to Menton in France was a great day out. Alex stayed in the apartment and went for a run to the next village and back.

    Menton was great with nicer buildings and a busier feel than ventimiglia. A lunch of pizza and salad was followed by a walk around the town and a visit to the Cocteau museum. Menton was the birthplace of Cocteau and he has many works there including in the marriage room. A gentle walk around the promenade to menton garavan and the train to take us back into Italy.Read more
