Jim and Jennifer's house.
We spent the second week of our vacation visiting Jim and Jennifer in Clermont-l'Herault, a small town near Montpellier in the Languedoc region of France. They live in a lovely house in the hills, and own the house next door, where we stayed. They took us to see all the sites in the region, including a day trip to Arles in Provence. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of our experience.
Brendan in the sun room.
Our guesthouse.
Trompe-l'oeil door in Pézènas. It is designed to be seen from the side.
Church in Saint-Gilles, near Arles.
Relief on the church in Saint-Gilles.
From the top of the Roman coliseum in Arles.
Brendan, Jim, and Jennifer on top of the coliseum.
Part of a Roman aqueduct that once connected Nîmes and Uzès (24 km away).
Near Lake Salagou, in the hills around Clermont-L'Herault, the soil takes on an almost purple color. The wind here is wild, and the scenery is prehistoric-- in fact we stopped to take a look at some dinosaur footprints.
Facades in Salasc, a small town in the hills.
Le Pont du Diable near Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert.
The region is famous for this bright green glaze, which has been produced since the middle ages.
Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is a small hilltop town with a magnificent church.
