| Coloured fabric hanging from the balcony of the Parlement de Languedoc, now | the Pezenas tourist office. |
 |
| Place Gambetta, Pezenas: site of the weeky organic market and the setting for much of last week's Moliere Festival. |
 |
| The doors here are incredible. I need to do a post with the dozens of doors I've photographed. Now could I make the door at home look like this? Would I want to? |
 |
| Les Trois Mousquetaires, part of the Moliere Festival. Rowan & melted in the heat We also saw l'Avare in the theatre in the park that night. |
 |
| La Gorge de l'Herault, a wild canyon in the garrigue. |

| St Guilhelm-le-Desert: After fighting the Spanish with Charlemagne, his cousin, Guilhelm, decided to leave the life of a Frankish lord and withdraw to this abbey that he built, in the middle of the "wilderness." Charlemagne gave Guilhelm a piece of the True Cross, and the abbey became both a pilgrimage site in itself as well as a stopping point en route to Camino de Santiago de Compostella. A stark but beautiful church, and another testament to the power of faith. Does the western world have anything today that rivals the cathedrals and monasteries and pilgrimages of the past, save our faith and monuments to technology? |
 |
| The Abbey Cloister: Where is the opposite side of the cloister you ask? Why in New York, because in the 1800s it was bought and moved to the American Monastery Museum. Of course . . . |
 |
| The hills above St Guilhelm: Beautiful for a hike. Not when it is 35 degrees and kids are low blood sugar. |
 |
| Tegan and I going for our first dip in the Mediterranean, near Agde. |
 |
| Rowan and Tegan is the sea. Tres salty. We'll be back. Lots |
