      Bump in the night

      9. juli 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      3.50am our bedroom door opens. It's meg- did we hear the loud bang and noise downstairs? Julian had switched the light on but wanted back up before he went downstairs. We had a look around but all seemed in order- significantly we didn't try the front door.
      Next morning we had the first detail to Intermarche to pick up supplies. Double blow of poor exchange rate and dearer prices. Also the French don't do allergies- or to dairy products anyway. Bad luck Albie.
      Joe and I walked into Uzes. Beautiful place to wander around.
      Later as we all headed for the pool I went to lock the front door but there was no outer lock. Our" bump in the night " was an attempted burglary. They had removed the outer lock with a piece of kit and julian had heard them entering the house. Call to the owner in England - my French not up to having that conversation with Claude. Said Claude soon arrives and summons the gendarmerie. Maddie very excited whilst Ellie and Jamie talk with the police family. Apparently the burglars target houses with hire cars looking for money and jewellery. To quote Jamie " they have some balls to climb the wall and go for a house with 3 hire cars outside".
      Claude tells us that there's no way to fix the lock tonight so the door is wedged firmly shut with pieces of wood.
      We have a surprisingly relaxed BBQ before heading for bed.

      Green Parc

      17. juli 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

      Early start for Green Parc. The Gomersons have decided to opt out. Wise decision really. We circled St Chapte- home of Green Parc- for 15 minutes before we found it. We parked in a cornfield. Our expectations were lowering by the minute but we pressed on regardless! Entry was10 Euros for adults and 9 Euros for children over one. We paid and entered. The girls got up close and personal feeding the goats in the compound. The horses ignored us- as did the potbellied pig and hens. We gave the rats a wide berth. Onto the water slide area. We had already realised that this was basically for under 10s with adults only allowed with smaller children. Beth , Tiger and i sat and watched through the fence while meg and Julian put the Blissett girls through their paces. Worth the admission fee just for that. A great number of shady picnic areas for us to enjoy our sandwiches. An ice cream courtesy of Beth and a quick turn on the trampolines and castle for Julian before the heat got the better of us and we headed for the car.
      The Gomersons had held the fort and we spent the rest of the day round the pool/ villa -just Ellie and Jamie heading out for a quick drink.

      A Couple of False starts - A Good End

      16. juli 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      It's Sunday. We were going to have a picnic at Green Parc today but suspected that the French were big weekend picnickers and took a rain check. However to be prepared ,and as supplies were running low , a raiding party was sent to Carrefour. It's amazing how much food 7 adults, 2 babies and a toddler can eat. It's quite mind boggling deciding which of the 10 kinds of Camembert you might choose.
      The Gomersons head off for Nimes and later bring back good reports.
      The Blissetts and Beth have the pool to themselves as joe and I head off for " one of France's most beautiful villages"- La Roque sur Ceze. Sadly we get so far along a road with fabulous views and then no further as the road is shut. We chicken out of the diversion and head for the Gorges de Gardon. Sadly again we overshoot the parking and decide we can't be bothered to turn back so take the Uzes road and park up in the town. It is so beautiful. Lots of alleys to wonder around. The Splendid Maison de Uzes with its Michelin star. Little boutique shops. We stumble on the Medieval Garden and pay our 6 Euros to wander the garden and climb the King's Tower They throw in a history of the Haribo factory and an artists exhibition. There is a toxic section of plants in which I take an interest- watch out Joe. We pick our favourite picture from the exhibition- a giraffe knocked down- 1600 Euros. Difficult to arrange transit with Ryan Air so pass. The Kings tower has 100 small winding steps but the view is magnificent.
      Arrive home. Better Call Claude- problem with the Gomerson bath. Call was for tomorrow but Claude appears later. It's serious. Needs a plumber. Difficult to get one in July and August says Claude. So it's not just a British problem.
      BBQ night. So much protein!

      Hello Claude

      12. juli 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      Indeed yes he's back again. The electric has now gone off. The boys are concerned about the meat mountain in the freezer. The babies are sweating. And I was going to make a nice cup of tea to calm everyone down! Emails were exchanged with owner in England and presumably relayed as our man soon appeared. Claude did have a weary way to him today- we are taking up an awful lot of his time. Anyway this time it apparently involved chopping something off the wall in the garage and replacing it with the same (very technical). It took a few hours but I wasn't around. I was on my way to one of Frances' most beautiful villages. Lusson was very beautiful but appeared uninhabited.
      Post evening meal we all walked into Uzes into the beautiful square for a drink.

      Dress ups

      10. april 2015, Frankrike ⋅ 🌙 2 °C

      Nannie is better again today but her throat is too swollen to get the tube out yet. It may be a couple of days yet. I can't wait to see her again.
      Today all the school kids in Uzes dressed up in costumes and marched right past our house. It was very noisy and fun.Les mer

      Ausflug nach Uzės

      30. mai 2017, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Wenn wir in der Provence sind besuchen wir in der Regel auch Uzès. Das kleine Städtchen im Hinterland hat neben einem sehr hübschen, interaktivem Haribo-Museum mit angeschlossenem Verkauf (Man bekommt hier Sachen, die es in Deutschland gar nicht gibt), auch eine urige Altstadt mit großartigen Arkaden. Der Dorfplatz, mit seinen großen Platanen und den vielen Restaurants, lädt zum Essen im Freien ein.Les mer

      Cascades, Uzès, Saintes-Maries

      4. juni 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Sooo Lyon haben wir hinter uns gelassen. Es ging von dort aus direkt in die Cascades du Sautadet, einem kleinen Fluss mit Wasserfall der auch zum Schwimmen einlädt. Dort einen passenden Stellplatz zu finden zeigte sich schwieriger als gedacht. Einzig und allein eine Art Parkplatz/Stellplatz mit Strom und WLAN für ca. 17 € einer Kette, war für uns die beste Option. Wohlgemerkt inmitten der Natur. 🌳🌲 Ein kleiner Spaziergang und man gelangte zum genannten Ort. Das Wasser war so schön erfrischend. Es war auch kaum was los. Ich stell mir dann immer vor wie schön dieser Platz bei uns in Krefeld wäre, dass ich dann mit meinen Freunden den ganzen Sommer dort verbringen würde...🥰
      Wir haben dort auch eine kleine Wasserschlange fotografieren können, was es genau für eine Art ist konnten wir nicht genau herausfinden. Eventuell eine Vipernatter? Wo sind hier die Schlangenexperten? 🤓 Die Biene welche wir abends an den Weinfeldern entdeckten, kannte ich! 😎 Nur nicht in der Größe, nämlich eine Holzbiene 💛.
      Auf dem Weg nach Saintes-Maries de la Mer, gab es noch einen kleinen Abstecher in das Dorf Uzès. Und dort gibt es das schönste Blumengeschäft! Mit einem kleinen Hinterhof. So. Wunderschön. 🪴 Allgemein ist Uzès ein Dorf aus vielen Gassen, alten Häusern mit vielen Boutiquen und Cafés. 💕
      Dann ging es endlich ans Meer. Saintes-Maries de la Mer ist ein reiner Ferienort, jetzt nicht so spektakulär aber wir konnten dieses Jahr das 1. Mal im Meer schwimmen. Sich nach'm joggen um 9.30 Uhr im Meer abkühlen, ist einfach so ein Luxus. 👌🏼 Auf dem Campingplatz haben wir übrigens auch viel Luxus gesehen, dort parkten eher die High-End Wohnmobile. Ja da haben wir etwas aus der Reihe getanzt, aber wer braucht schon im Urlaub 'ne Satellitenschüssel auf'm Dach? Und Klimaanlagen werden völlig überbewertet... 🥵🤷🏼‍♀️

      Uzès

      23. august 2016, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      We took a short break from Mas de Pinet(we don't want to get spoiled) and went for an icecream in the nearest town Uzes. Quite lovely and lively too. Day was quite hot, so after doing the groceries, we rushed back to cool down in our backyard-pool. Nothing beats that in a hot summer days like this.Les mer
