The Garden Group had a wonderful day out organised by Vivien R, only recently returned from
North America. 

We visited the Abbaye de Saint Felix in Gigean (walking group members may remember that we had a walk there some years back), followed by a marvellous lunch at Viv and Alain's home in Sete, for which we thank them profusely.  The day was glorious - sun and blue skies, and no breeze, not a whiff of one, and 27C temp.

glorious views across the Languedoc

We listen to our docent under the hot sun - hats needed

Italian cypress trees frame the Roman ruins

Roses flourish here

no breeeze, and 27C temp

The Abbaye ruin - open to the blue skies (it would be a shame to roof it)

After our morning's garden tour, we drove to Viv and Alain's home overlooking the sea in Sete.
Viv and Alain entertained us to a marvellous lunch which we ate in the shade outside.

A gorgeous day - many thanks to Vivien for arranging the tour and to both Alain and Vivien for
their warm hospitality.
