Le Pomme D'Amour
At night
And during the day.
He seemed to find it amazing that four Aussies had managed to find this lovely little village not far from Bezieres and chose to stay there.
My answer was, "Word of mouth." Rather it was " Word of blog ! " because I heard about Pezenas from a blogging friend Marg (blog called Little Miss Sunshine ) and that sent me off to research it.
So Marg, it's you we have to thank for steering us to this delightful OLD village.
Once again we are staying in the Old Town, in a very comfortable apartment called Maison sur L'Arc in the Jewish Ghetto section of the Old Town.
Pezenas is a much larger village than St Remy. There is a wide Main Street with centre parking that slices it in two ...
but it is the narrow winding laneways that snake out from there where you find the hidden gems.
Shops like caves with bewildering depths contain all kinds of artisan goods that can give you hours of browsing pleasure and often end with a few tables and chairs for a hole-in-the-wall cafe.....,
Or open out into sunny little squares where a cluster of cafes vie for your attention and the biggest decision is SUN or SHADE ? ??? ( being Aussies we always pick shade ! )
Although Pezenas is delightful in its own right, We chose to stay here for a week because of its proximity to several interesting places.
Like Cap D' Agde
With lots of expensive boats
And the inviting Mediterranean beckoning
Or Sete
almost reminiscent of Venice except here the water is clean and blue !
Then for something completely different you can spend a day in Montpellier
With its huge central square,
beautiful buildings,
Narrow laneways,
Full of quality shops and cafes
And tree lined boulevardes
Not to mention wonderful feats of engineering
and that's only up to Tuesday !
A bientot !
