Happy return, well worth a visit, I recommend you discover the picturesque Castelnau de Montmiral, a remote 13 th century bastide in South West France.
A 13 th century bastide, Castelnau de Montmiral was built to defend l’Occitane from the “Northern Barbarians”, in other words, the French, Plantagenets, Gascoyne and English, by order of count Raymond VII of Toulouse.

HRH Queen Elizabeth when visiting Cordes sur Ciel was served wine chosen from the domain de la Chanade.

After an 8 hr 45 minute drive I arrived safely at the house of my friend Hervé Boitel in the Tarn department.
I drove through a mixture of heavy rain and bright sunshine, yet again wishing I had a co driver.

I stopped en route at the Aire de Vendee and as it was raining in fair imitation of a tropical downpour and chilly too, I ignored my salmon and mayo sandwiches and treated myself to a nice hot meal.
My mostly very good driving record was blotted for me by my car being side swiped in heavy traffic on the Bordeaux periferique by a driver who did not stop.
That will set me back 90 € for the damage excess on my insurance …
Such is life, I’m shipshape and the car will benefit from a respray on that side.
