Lagrasse – river

Last week we visited the village of Lagrasse – officially one of the most beautiful villages in France.

It was a stunningly hot day and as we don’t have a pool we wanted to find somewhere (relatively) nearby to cool ourselves down.

We made a very quick picnic lunch – pizza/tart with tomatoes, peppers, emmental, garlic and who knows what else we had in the fridge.

It was such a lovely way to spend the afternoon! People watching, soaking up some sun, dipping toes in the water and watching out for fish

There were several families around us and groups of friends – in fact there was a small festival being held over that weekend, so quite a few people looking a little hungover

So, after all that hard work of sunbathing and eating lunch we decided to treat ourselves to some ice cream at a café that has recently opened – supporting the local community, right?!

Raspberry and Mojito sorbets – delicious!

I can’t wait until we next visit. We really spent very little money and could have stayed much longer, walking around the quaint village streets and along the river.
