And other animals among which our ancestors lived.

I lived near Clermont l'Hérault for more than one year, in an apartment : 13 Grand'rue in the village of Brignac.

The number 13 is a good one and Grand'rue means big street. I'll let you be juge of it's size.

Do you see the dog at the window ? Mine did this as well.

At the north of the department Hérault, we visited the medieval village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert at the end of the Gorges of the Hérault river.

Some view taken from the Evil's bridge.

We also had the pleasure to hear a repetition of religious songs in the Church. I made a video, but it's too big and this photo isn't very good.

On our way back we stopped in the medieval city of Carcassonne.

A very peculiar specimen....it looks relatively intact and not scavenged.  This must be an elaborate fake

Where did you get white rocks with all the soil being red?

In some places there are clearer strates with almost white little stones.

But in the camping we were in there also was filling stones from i think a Jurassic strate because i found this :

I wrote our names with those white stones and bits of ammonites like this one.

I also wanted to show that in the ruffe, beside the tracks of reptiles, we found fossilized traces of water :

ripples

I wondered why the wine seemed watered down!

Yes, sure, who said frenchies didn't put water in their wine ?

I can see the acrobats stretching toward the clouds and curling under the bushes. I am enjoying reading about your trip. Thank you.

Thanks to you. When we were at the top of the Peak of Vissous, we found some passionates of paragliding and had an interesting exchange with them on their passion and our's.
