French Mountains and French Movies

Saturday, May 4th, 2019




Today we discovered another mountainous winding route as we drove in direction of Capendu to Olonzac. This massif peaks at 600 meters we reached about 400 meters, more than high enough for me.
No big plans just a little tour. 
The skies were broody all day.

We found fields of poppies ...



And an antique wagon ...


The rain arrived at the same time as we did in Olonzac.
We had a quick wander and then ducked into the Cafe de la Poste for some refreshments. 




We stopped by Sainte Helene to say “Bonjour” to Kay & Mark, unfortunately they weren’t home. We stayed in their apartment for a week in July 2014. 



A colourful garden border ...



We headed back to Montlaur. 
had stopped into the Boucherie to pick up the beef I had ordered yesterday and prepared a beef bourguignon for our dinner and we settled in for a marathon of movies filmed in France ... 
“Chocolat, Paris Can Wait & My Old Lady.”
We enjoyed our delicious traditional French dinner and of course French pastries for dessert. 

Just what we needed on a drizzly day in Montlaur!
