La Villa Mazarin Aigues-Mortes

22nd
As we now needed to be in Barcelona in 5 days to meet Kim's mum it was time to say goodbye to Italy. As the day was overcast and the drive on the autopista easy we just kept on driving (from 8am until 5.30pm) and arrived into Les Acrs in France time for a beer and dinner then bed.

As we had stayed in a free Aire last night we were able to top up water, clean the toilet and then give Scooby ...

Hello, I'm french and I come to Palangkaraya January 25 until February
20 with a friend. We are looking to rent a house with 2 rooms and not too far from
downtown.

Halo, saya orang prancis dan saya datang ke
Palangkaraya dari 25 Januari sampai Februari 20 dengan seorang teman. Kami
mencari untuk menyewa rumah tidak jauh dari pusat kota.

Thank you for your help. Terima kasih.

Wait a minute, we’re not traveling to Italy until tomorrow…but we spent the day in Arles exploring Roman architecture.

The biggest site in town is the amphitheatre, or coliseum. Glimpses through different side streets pull you even closer like the hub it has always been. Huge in scale, some seating is till original and large towers give sweeping views of the ...

... add details, and as Vincent so skillfully did: show movement and texture with brush strokes. As I photographer, I must only capture what is there. Although I can make some minute adjustments, it’s reality. So many times I wish a tree would just move to the left, the shadow would fall differently, or that a person would get out of the way! In the few ...

... Climbing up and up the roughly cobbled path you get a feeling of imposing grandure from the massive structure towering above. Walking along fortified walls strung with archer keys I couldn’t help but imagine I was a medieval maiden. (And to help with this fantasy, the nearest shop sells period clothing for both you and your partner!). Cruising through the streets my imagined past was crushed by the tapas bars and screaming children. I ...

What a waste of a day...

Go to Nimes and the national parks people said..... we ended up at a campsite way out of Montpellier and the highlight of our day had been the supermarket!!!!

The national park was lots of farm type marsh land... not what we had imagined. Nimes seemed pretty and lots of well preserved Roman things but the traffic was a nightmare and too hard to park so we kept driving with a plan to go out in Montpellier that ...

We have enjoyed many good meals in France, but two stand out from the vast number in restaurants that tend to offer a menu with generic dishes (well prepared though), rather than distinctive cuisine. This could relate to our budget of course.

Nimes
We arrived in Nimes in the late afternoon and booked into the Hotel des Tuileries, a lovely hotel in the old part of town very close to the Arena. The host, Andrew, recommended a ...

... due to the numerous universities there and it is striking just how young everyone is (please note I didn't see any policemen -just no older people!) There area some interesting modern built made to look old buildings and I imagine a lot of Montpellier income is from conferences many, many centres dotted about the place. Now also 100% convinced of total retail globilisation having checked out their Galeries Lafayette and typical 'mall' type shops. It's mostly in little towns where the ...

... France would be like, and I can't wait to see the rest of it. Our second day in Montpellier was Bastille Day, the French day of independence in memory of a middle-class mob that stormed the Bastille prison to rescue political prisoners from an overbearing king. We saw fireworks along the river, listened to a live band (which turned out to be a lousy American cover band, think The Wedding Singer) on the main Place de la Comedie, and we drank white wine on Espalande Charles De ...

... Poi un giorno entró una voce. Si trattava sempre di una voce diversa che arrivava da lontano piena d'entusiamo e si portava qualcuna di noi. Si raccontava che andare con quelle voci poteva essere una specie di nirvana, perché dal giorno dopo avremmo raggiunto la perfezione, saremmo diventate delle caffettiere adulte. Un giorno venne il mio turno. Vincenzo mi adottó. Mi fece conoscere Laia. Fu bellissimo viaggiare per tutta europa. Mi porto a ...
