Can you see the rain? It didn't rain all day ... only while we were inside enjoying a delicious "menu du jour".
The day started out not promising great weather, actually the whole country of France is experiencing unseasonable, temperamental weather.
You can't do anything about the weather ... so you have to make the most of the circumstances.
After a quick visit with our landlords, Kay and Mark (who own / operate Sainte Hélène Chambre d'hôtes and rent out their amazing "French apartment" in Olonzac) ... we received some suggestions for today's outing and headed to "Lagrasse".
Lagrasse (Aude Dept) a medieval village is located in the valley of the River Orbieu at the foot of the Pyrennes ... it is a member of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" association.
... "One of the most beautiful villages of France" it dates back to the time when the Abbey was built in the late 700's ...
It was a day that my camera probably was thinking will she ever stop taking pictures ... so I hope I don't overload you with too many postcards?
The covered Market Hall dates from the 13th and 14th centuries ...
The Blacksmith shop...
The remaining walls ...
The picture above is of the cemetery within the monastery walls.
Nice legs Monsieur Honey!
Love this stairway full of pots ...
Outside the café after the lunch hour ... this is a favorite of mine ... The colours of the umbrellas with the beautiful twisted plane trees in the background.
Hope you enjoyed travelling with us to Lagrasse and even on a not so perfect weather day ...
It was still a beautiful place to visit.
