Latest Visit to Languedoc

Well here we are back in Wesham after a week away in Amelie Les Bains - escaping the British winter!

Had lunch in the sun at Collioure - even sat outside to eat in February!!

Went to the Bear Festival Fete De L'ours in Prats De Mollo - very different, totally surreal but wouldn't have missed the experience. Will post some photos and will eventually post the history of this experience!!

Took a drive along the rocky coast through Port Vendres onto Cerbere - will post pictures of a very windy sea.

Canigou looked splendid, covered in snow although we didn't venture up there.









Over the next few weeks we will post various views from around the area to share with you all and will also spend some time posting photos from other countries and different areas in France we have visited over the last few years.

Next visit - a Far Eastern cruise starting in Singapore early April - can't wait!!

Collioure













Our favourite coastal resort in Languedoc just a 25 minute drive from Amelie - great views, great wining & dining with pleasant beaches. The trip on the little train is well worth taking, chugging through the vineyards for the gorgeous views down onto Collioure and beyond.
