From Barca back to France. We spent our 8th night on the Med again, a few metres off the beach, at
Marseillan-Plage (just north of
Narbonne). But, it was a different Med to the
cote d’Azur (days 4 and 5). Windy and rough seas, but still charming (a bit like Cape Shank in winter). The next day we headed off for
Lyon, but somehow got pulled towards the mountains and stumbled across a charming little village,
Les Abrets (just north of
Grenoble). The campsite was called
Le Coin Tranquille, and it will no doubt return to being tranquil
after we've left (
www.coin-tranquille.com). We even had to order our baguettes the day before, and they were delivered fresh in the morning.
We took a long walk in the countryside in the late afternoon and it was just so very, very rustic, authentic and ‘French’ (sounds lame, but true). Its not hard to see where Monet drew his inspiration from.

The boys seem to be growing between each photograph...?
ReplyDeleteIf I was jealous before I am now even more now - it looks fantabulous - I love that gypsy feeling in those campers. Its funny we were just talking tonight with Ryan and Shan about our trips overseas and it is amazing what they still remember.
