We are off again on another adventure. France AGAIN you ask? We have never been to the south east part of
the country – everyone goes to Provence so we are going to Languedoc – right
next door. We have heard the wine and
the cheese are especially good in that region.
Actually the opportunity came up to rent an apartment in Montpellier from
a friend in Victoria and what we have learned over the years – when the
opportunity presents itself – grab it quick.
It seldom comes back to knock a second time.
Our new favorite saying “Travelling
is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.” Leaving any money in the bank is not going to
make us richer – certainly not after this week in the markets!
So off we go with hopes of some good day
hikes in the French countryside, to get to know Montpellier a little bit, some
visits to little towns that have been on our list for some time: Nîmes, Bezier,
Avignon, Arles. We plan to travel by
train to visit these places and as many outdoor markets as we can find. Our apartment is a good 15k walk to the Mediterranean with endless places to
stop for a coffee or a glass of French wine at an outdoor café. We have even heard there is a wine cave
within walking distance. We plan to keep
you posted with our blog as we share our adventure with you. Stay tuned!
