Pay des Cathars

Sitting in the sun having a wee refreshment after the market we took the notion to see if Pierre et Marie, who live near Limoux, were free for lunch the next day. We' were invited over for the night so we made our way over through Cathar country drinking in the scenery and thinking of this cruel period of French history when the castles came into view. Caught up on the news, admired their new house and enjoyed a good meal. The next day we headed to Esperaza where we joined an aging "hippie" population at the market. Then back into the car to go up into the mountains where we had fabulous views and a good all-in meal for 22€. The return journey went without any problems. All in all a little bit of spontaneity does you good!
