When we went to France last month we went down to a little town called Ax-la-Therme.
It is very quaint, lots of narrow streets with these lovely tall, thin houses with shutters.
There was very little English spoken there so we had to practise our best French – I must say all the restaurant staff were very patient!
Ax-la-Therme
has a natural hot spring and there is a stone built pool in the town centre. Each evening you see people sitting with their feet in it, the water is quite hot
and seems to be a very social thing to do!
Then we headed back to Carcassone…… I love this place, I have been twice before but this time my Mum and Zac flew in to join us. It was my Mum’s birthday, here she is making the most of the retail therapy! (Apparently I only have one leg?!)
It was 34 degrees while we were there…… seriously hot, but lovely dry heat, not a bit humid so I loved it.
So that was France – nice weather, nice food, nice wine, lovely company!!
