Today my brother John wrote -------------- "The grapes look good,
expectations are high. The vendange has started so the
village is busy, busy."
This late Summer weekend heralds their village fête at the start of the harvest and,
if anything like previous celebrations encountered on former visits, I know it will be
one exciting and most enjoyable time for all. Wine is what makes the village tick - it's
the lifeblood of the Languedoc region. French wines are excellent and will flow
this weekend, together with music and dancing.
This post will take you to my brother's village surrounded by vineyards and farmland.
You will also get an early 'pumpkin fix' - and a recipe - they grow some beauties I
assure you.
We visited in October of 2008 and are hoping to have beautiful weather and Autumn
colors like this again when we arrive next month following a trip through other lovely
areas of France.
