The last few days have been just that...
A bit of hot weather, a bit cool!
A bit of cycling, a bit of sightseeing!
So here is a small sample.....
A rustic French breakfast!
Our gite near Narbonne!
Some Provencal pottery?
The Roman Amphitheatre in Nimes where the gladiators fought.
They now hold concerts here- even one tonight!
A fabulous bull fighter statue!
(Nimes certainly has a Spanish feel to it!)
The Chapel of the Jesuits (yes, them again!) where an amazing exhibition of
sculptures by Serge Marchal was being held!
Quite amazing!
And as breakfast was a simple affair, here is what I had for dinner-
melted goat's cheese on toast, with bacon and salad....
accompanied by this tasty assortment for first course!
(The pickled onions (front) were unbelievable!)
Followed by a tiny garlicky roast quail with potatoes and assorted mushrooms!
I finished off with scoops of cafe and cassis glace!
But as they were melting fast I didn't have time for a photo!
Well, that's my story anyway!
And the best part was it didn't cost a fortune!
Happy days!

When are you going home? Not sure I can keep up this green-eyed monster feeling much longer!!
Yummmmmmy! Spectacular statue and sculptures. You just can't shake the Jesuits can you?
I remember Nimes...where DeNim was found by Levi Strauss! That salad you had is my all time favorite salad. Wish I were there!
Yum!!
Oh boy, after having a very ordinary lunch, I am now insanely jealous.
It all looks so wonderful.
I love your taste in food!! I used to have goats cheese on toast at France-Soirs (South Yarra, Melbourne) years ago, and there you are having the real French version. That breakfast looked particularly good too.
