We had breakfast at the hotel in Palavas - see what I mean about it being sheik? 🙂 Then, we headed out to Nimes, one of the great cities of ancient roman architecture. Unfortunately for us, there was a festival about to begin. The Maison Caree looked under...

We went to Narbonne on this day. Its a wonderful city - lively and restful and historic and modern all at once. They have preserved part of an ancient Roman road, which was cool. We also experienced just how nice the French are - we parked at a meter and I was trying...
