Too Hot to Hike, But Never Too Hot for a Brocante!

 A few kilometres from where we are living is Notre Dame du Cros, famous for its little chapel but also for its magnificent cliffs and walking trails.  Today even though we love the chapel and its fabulous acoustics we plan to do a short 2 hr walk.... but in the end the heat and threat of wild fires defeat us.


Loved seeing the familiar walking sjgns that we've followed over the years (and at times lost sight of) on our self guided walks across Italy and France. It brought back so many great memories of Alpine walks. The butterflies were truly amazing - often camouflaged by the dry grasses and dry-stone capitelles.



Spent some time watching the climbers abseil down the cliffs before we retreated to our car and air conditioning..  On out way back we discovered Brocante!!!! You know how I love second hand shops, well Brocante are something else.  Everything from total rubbish to great intriguing finds.This one was closed but all proceeds go to care for the feral cats. 

Now to find a Vide Grenier (Literally empty attic! but is the equivelant of garage sale) Maybe on Sunday!
