Abbaye de Montmajuer

We tried to find a tour to take us off to see a bit of the country side but we couldn't find a good fit. Either they were in French or they were going too many places we weren't interested in and not enough we were. The downside of travelling at this quieter time of year is that the range of options is reduced. So we decided to gird our loins and brave the local buses. Fontvieille seemed a good option - well out of town (but not too far) - serviced by a local bus - sounded interesting. We managed to find the bus stop we could leave from and between what was posted there, what the hotel concierge could find out and what we could find online the bus left somewhere between 10:30 and 11. In the end the bus came about 10:45.
The concierge came up with one extra idea for us, we could get off the bus along the way and visit this Abbey and so we did. It was pretty impressive.Read more
