Logis de France Chez Camillou Aumont Aubrac

I go to Marseilles and visit at night, I was also lucky enough to find a cheap hotel (20 euros per night for a single room with shared toilet). I went to see a french comedy "Prete moi ta main" definately worth it! the next morning I have a tough decision, do I go back to brussels to visit Marie-Christine or do I ...

hey everybody well, some recent changes to the travel plans. so now i'm as nomadic as ever, with less plans than before! am loving france. nicole has a great group of friends and we spend weekends with her mom out of clermont ferrand, tending to the garden and getting things ready for winter. ahh, the simple life... her mom's neighbour is insisting nicole only speak to me in french ...

Kel and Amanda continued on to Paris before flying out back to Perth, and I decided to stay and re-evaluate where I am going next. I had planned to go to Spain but that will be on hold for a while. I am turning into the serial squatter, but Nic assures me she doesn't mind. I should take this opportunity to tell you that not only is Clermont Ferrand famous for it's surrounding ...

... in how to ask for "two bottles of red wine, please", my mispronunciation bringing Nicole and Jean-Pierre much amusement. Kel and Amanda just took and empty and pointed and held up two fingers. Good work girls! Kel, Amanda and I indulged in an afternoon at a day spa as we were all feeling a little fatigued by the constant travel, and it was divine. Nicole took some time off work and took us on a tour of the South of France. Some absolutely ...

... there are several hitch-hikers hanging round at the next stop. Ride with a quiet young Morrocan. Lond ride. Nice car. However Chris and I concur that his music choice ranks bottom out of all rides. Dropped off in the dark by the motorway. Climb over a fence to investigate what´s growing. Grapes galore!!! Chris looks on with pity as I stuff grapes into my throat. Set up camp nearby and feel a bit ill.

... Puy. Relief. Le Puy is a beautiful town. It has a crumbling castle perched on a comically craggy cliff in the centre. Find the internet and realise that Betabet is not in Le Puy. Take a bus to a little town nearby then catch two more lifts off kind souls and finally. Arrive.

Lyon is a beautiful city. I stayed in Lyon for a few days at my friend Ben's place. On the 21st there was a huge party in every city in France, so Lyon was hopping with bands and people throughout the city. The architecture here is amazing, and I also love the small town feel. It's a pretty small city, but I kind of like that.

We spent the better part of a week biking around southern France. At the french national mountain biking area we had a particularly good time. The terrain was not terribly challenging, but they did have route maps which broke down the different difficulty levels nicely, in the same fashion as a ski map does. The french refer to mountain biking as VTT for 'velo tout terrain'.

... qu' il a tout ce qu'il faut savoir du moins je m'arrête la.Je me suis vraiment bien amusée. Il y avait des chinois; des belges; des anglais, une slovaque, un egyptien, un venezuelien, un espagnol, des québécois et aussi des francais. Le travail n'était pas dure physiquement mise a part pour le dos qui a tout pris. Il faut toujours être accrouppi. Mais avec le temps on trouve des trucs pour s'assoire ou être a genous tout en étant aussi efficace. Ca m'a pris 5 jours pour ...

... half dressed in freezing temperatures are just hoping it's a "cold spell" that will pass. I remember the tradition every fall when mom would bring out the bags of "winter clothes" and I would re-discover my favorite scarf with the mittens on the ends. Maybe that preparedness is one of the plusses of having more pronounced seasons. In any case, I am definitely looking forward to seeing the sun more. Cahors is a little ...
