Having in-laws here in fine weather means a deal of tourism, hurrah - Above is St Anne teaching the virgin to read (on a pillar opposite Notre Dame de Marcielle above Limoux) and here are the caves of the Abbe de St Hilarie, where the first sparkling white wine ever was made - now a health drink called Blanquette de Limoux -The abbey has been done up and the process of restoration continues. We really enjoyed our visit. Recommended.
Followed by lunch at LeClerc, ditto :)
The evening saw a cluster of in-laws around Phil and Ziggies bbq - Jamsie joined in for the fun of the thing, after the family had taken tea in his chateau. Here is his dog Masher who had learnt to play with Bellen, Ziggies dog -
And today....Back 5000 plus years, and lunch by the canal du Midi at Homps.
