After the scenic route we found what we thought was a quiet spot to have lunch. Not quite as quiet as expected. I took out my goats milk cheese and bread and all these goats appeared and they did like goats milk cheese

Pont - D'Arc

Véritable phénomène culturel, au nectar célébré par les Romains et la Renaissance. La vigne a traversé les siècles en complicité avec les vignerons ardéchois. Ils sont fiers de cette ancienneté accompagnée d'une recherche constante de la qualité. Le terroir et l'ensoleillement des coteaux et vallées ont apporté aux ceps de vigne un sol à la mesure des cépages aux arômes variés et aux saveurs bien affirmées tels que Grenache, Syrah, Gamay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, ou Chardonnay. Les vignerons de l'Ardèche seront particulièrement heureux de vous accueillir dans leurs caves pour vous parler des appellations AOC Côtes-du-Vivarais ou Vin de pays des coteaux de l'Ardèche mais surtout pour vous faire déguster les rouges, rosés ou blancs, élevés avec passion dans le respect de la tradition.

A view from the beach

We found this beach by walking down a rocky goats path, you get there by driving from Agay to Theoule. It is down below the Massif de L'Esterel

St.Raphael - Fishing

A brother and sister counting their catch.

I was sitting on the jetty with Dianne and Charlotte at St Raphael , eating ice creams. The two children are counting their catch, small silver fish tiny little things like sardines. I thought thay were French until I spoke to their Father to ask him the name of the fish they had caught and he named them in Italian but I cannot now remember the name.
Dianne took the picture, with my instruction of course.
