Today, we climbed over the mountains from the Céret valley to the valley of Marquixanes and Molitg-les-Bains. A serpentined road if there ever was any.
One the way we paid a visit to the Priorie Notre Dame de la Serrabone, a 1000 years-old church on the famous pilgrim road towards St. Jacque de Compostella.
Once in the valley, we went and had a coffee in a local Café de France and watched the old men playing boule among the plane trees.
Platanerne var hule, bladene var gule, og mændene spillede boule |
Later on we drove to Marquixanes to check out a house that would be an ideal place to stay during the early spring next year, ...
... a place with this magnificent view of one of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees: Mount Canigou.
We ended the day at a **** place, the Château de Riell, a most recommendable place in all aspects.
The most wonderful place to eat a splendid breakfast |
