If it's Friday night ... It's Pizza Night even in France!

It is our last day/ night in Olonzac ...

Some Rose and tapas at the local bar/ café ...

Today the sun played hide n seek all day ... After a wonderful day of visiting Villeneuve Minervois ( subject of another post) we returned to our "Home away from Home" for this past week to start packing and organizing for our last couple of days in France.

We were privileged to have a tour of "Sainte-Hélène's Chambre d'hôte" .. B&B. ... Again subject of another post to follow ...

We shared a bottle of chilled rosé in the sunny courtyard ...

Can you tell I'm tired ... More posts to follow soon!

'Villeneuve Minervois' ... A visit to the past!

Friday we ventured out to a village that we had also visited during our 2005 travels to France where we had come close to buying a property ...

We wandered the plane tree lined streets while the sun played hide and seek ...

An old wine press ...

The mill ...

A view of the rooftops ...

We discovered an auberge / restaurant with great ambiance where we enjoyed another delicious lunch wonderfully presented ...

More recipe ideas...

Ah there you are sunshine!

Time for a Grand Canyon Visit

Well I am thinking about time again ... if it's Thursday we only have four more sleeps in France and Monday night we will be back home in Canada.

What will we do today Monsieur Honey?

You guessed it ... a visit to Minerve!

We drove high above the gorges on the winding road to reach the Cathar village of Minerve.

Facing my fears ... you are all probably well aware of my fear of heights with sweating palms and palpitating heart ...

As the saying goes ... I had to suck it up buttercup.

We strolled through the narrow lanes and ventured down to the old Remparts ....

,

No Monsieur Honey ... I am not going down there ... Go ahead and you can tell me all about it when you come back ...
