Pic Saint-Loup (part 2)

Following lunch, we rolled back to the van and Bertrand drove us to a stunning medieval village called Les Matelles. Here we were able to wander the narrow streets and stretch our legs and, most importantly, let our lunch digest.

Earlier in the day, as we had been chatting with Bertrand, it came up in conversation that Gerard had proposed to Rachel with a bottle of red from Château La Roque. Bertrand thought it would be cool to visit the winery and so he spoke to the owners who said of course we could come by and have a tasting. So we did. It was a beautiful winery and when they were recently doing some renovations they discovered part of an ancient Roman road under the floor.

We got back to Montpellier and had a quiet night in. It is hard work eating and drinking all day!Read more
