We all slept well - was it the comfy bed, the
peace of the countryside or the wine? Anyway, once again Claudie sent us
off while she kept an eye on the 7 hour slow cooked leg of lamb which
was on the menu for lunch. We went first to Villeneuvette which is a
conservation village constructed around an 16th century factory which
had made military uniforms and sheets. Nice place but very quiet.
From
here we went onto Pezanas for a wander around the old town. It's main
claim to fame is it's connection to Molière who resided there for
several years. It's a pleasant place to linger in with lots of photo
opportunities. We also visited a exhibition featuring paintings, photos
and sculptures by local artists in the magnificent 16th century Palace
of the Barons of Lacoste.Arrived back at the house at 1pm prompt to the delicious aroma of roast lamb and it certainly didn't disappoint. There was time afterwards for Christain to have 40 winks before the drive home where there were signs of it having rained and with more to come.
Weather:

Jean-Jacques' sister, Claudie has been asking us all to go and visit for ages and we've finally got our diaries together to go for an overnight. As we left after lunch, there was time to go to the market where we stumbled across the inauguration of the Social Party's campaign headquarters. We met some people that we knew so stayed and had the apéritif on offer.Arrived at Claudie's without any traffic problems, had a cuppa and chat with her before she sent us off to have a look at the nearby town of Clermont l'Herault.
Claudie has a vineyard, so the evening was spent sampling wine and chatting with her and her
daughter-in-law, Isabel. http://www.berenas.com/
