Postcards from Agde

Looking though my photographs I feel I am not quite ready to leave Agde behind  and leaving is always difficult – so here are just one or two postcards by way of  my au revoir

1. The narrow, medieval streets of the old city, in which we lived, where neighbours are almost within touching distance

          2. The trompe loeil – painted by artists from Marseille – which we passed on our way down to the river.

      3. The Herault River where it opens up on its way to the sea – I cycled here most mornings (when I wasn’t  falling  off my bike) along the cycle path to Grau D’Agde and the Mediterranean

4. The kitten we all fell in love with in the restauarnt at Minerve

5. The sea which always seemed hazy in the heat – didn’t go in but paddled with Angus

6. A simple roof terrace picnic – bread, cheese, pizza and wine. The food improved considerably when Sean and Debora arrived (not surprisingly)

7.The canal was always the most peaceful of places but especially in the early evening

                          8. The French love fireworks!!

Au Revoir Agde!
