Sauve ...a living village museum...
Today we had our first day of touring the region and after the crazy onging fight with Montpellier's narrow roads and a recalcitrant sat nav, we eventually left for the preserved medieval village of Sauve where time stands still. The Conservatoire de la Fourche was fascinating with Medieval production and craft techniques on show and kept alive. Pitchforks grown from trees...quite unique. From there we enjoyed the beauty of this place wandering its many back streets with typical French provincial architecture abounding. Lunch was divine and the love affair with this region's food and wine beginning. Goodbye diet!!!!
The final visit for the day was the silk museum at Saint -Hyppolite du Fort. Our techno and enginerring experts in the group were in seventh heaven while the shoppers in the group were spoilt for choice. Back to Montpellier and the battle with its roads and lack of coach parking. Our patient driver Paul was being seriously tested. Jetlag began its intrusion......zzzzz.....
Love the pic of Sue and Jules. It all looks fabulous, so jealous x
