We are on our second last week of our French stay.
This week the weather was once again mixed.
Monday we did a village walk; we stopped to smell some beautiful roses!
“The Venus out of the Water surrounded by four children riding dolphins” fountain in the Place de la République.
One of the children riding the dolphin ... isn’t he cute?
Now look at that Wisteria ... can only imagine what it looks like in full flower.
Wednesday to Trèbes for a grocery shop and then some lunch. We first went to Le Moulin however it was full and there wasn’t a table available. We made a reservation for tomorrow.
We chose the Trattoria Napoli on the Quai, the food and setting were excellent.
The phylo pastry wrapped goat cheese & honey that look like egg rolls were so yummy.
I’m going to have to try to make these.
It was a warmer (24C) sunny day and we had a great table to enjoy our meal and watch the activity in the canal.
Everything has a red tinge because of the red umbrellas!
I said to Monsieur Honey “Let’s do this sometime” ... rent a houseboat and travel on the Canal.
I don’t think he was too interested.
Has the weather finally broken? Let’s hope so! Looking out the window this morning it was clear and sunny!
The menu and our lunch.
We enjoyed our lunch immensely (très bon!) so much so, we’ve decided to go here again on our last full day in France.
As the sun was shining and temperatures were finally warmer, we watched the activity in the locks where three boats were passing through, one of which was sporting a Canadian flag. We chatted and found out that these three couples were from B.C. The boat they rented had 3-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms ... sounds perfect.
Friday and Saturday we were experiencing some dreary weather (dark, cloudy skies and rain) ... we spent those days at home in the village.
Sunday we headed to Lagrasse where there was a vide-grenier, school festival with lots of activités for the children.
All in all a fairly full week!
You can’t do anything about the weather and just have to make the most of it.
Oh and let’s not forget it was Mother’s Day in France ... every lady guest at Le 1900 was given a beautiful rose!
