Céret, Feels Like Home!

#Céret#French#Catalan

Today we said "au revoir " to Cahors in the Lot Valley (Midi-Pyrennes) and "Bonjour" to Céret,  (Pyrennes Orientales ) Languedoc-Rousillon. 

Ceret is a medieval "French Catalan" village/town located south of Perpignan, only minutes from Spain.

We arrived in Céret mid afternoon to continuing hot and humid temperatures.

As this was a return visit to Céret and we have rented the same apartment as last year, it was all so familiar. 

 

We were in need of a cool refreshment ... Bar Le Pablo provided the answer.   

Contact made with the property manager and we met to get the keys ... quickly unpacked & settling in! 

                               

A blue plumbago ... it doesn't make me feel blue! 

                               Place de Neuf Jets ...

                            

Our first few days we just spent wandering the many narrow streets/ lanes/ squares ... So I'm just sharing some "postcards" from our strolls, I'll give you some detailed descriptions in later posts. 

These first few days we weren't playing tourist but trying to feel like locals that have come home. 

                             

 

Oleanders in every colour on steroids line the streets ... and I have to grow the one we have in a pot and it must be kept inside during the Canadian winters! 

                 

A quick visit to the local "Brocante" store ...

Let's just wander a little more ...

Back in our neighbourhood ...

A quick pickup at the neighbours "vegetable/fruit" stand ... right across the street from the apartment,

Hope you enjoyed strolling around the town of Céret for the last couple of days ... as much as we have!
