So what's this all about?

Well...I'm off to spend the year in Montpellier and I thought writing a blog would be the best way to keep everyone up to date with what's going on, plus it's something I can look back on when I have to return home. So here goes!!

Narbonne: c’est bonne ça!

First day trip of the semester – a randomly chosen visit to Narbonne, a small town in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, not far from Montpellier. Not really knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised when we got there to find that there were actually a few things to see and that it was a very pretty place!

Palais des Archevêques et la cathédrale, Avignon-style. 


Something to do with the Romans and their roads:



Small, narrow streets - seem to be typical of the region!


Afternoon stroll along the canal: 




Roman "Horreum" - underground tunnels, essentially the Roman storage system. Bit creepy down there!


A la prochaine fois!
