Marseillan

We have settled for a bit (until April 8th), in Marseillan, France. Kirsty found us a very nice place, owned by Doni and Dearbhla O'Riordan (originally from County Cork, Ireland).

Marseillan seems like a typical small French village, with plenty of boulangeries (bread shops), people parking wherever they want, small windy roads, dog poop galore, a dearth of road signs, and fresh vegetables. It is still the off-season here, so the crowds are non-existent, and at times it feels like we are on a movie set.


There is a also very large salt-water lake here (Etang de Thau).

The house:

We enter from the street through the garage, into the courtyard. Another residence is on top of the garage.

It has been nice to taste French bread again! But I do miss the Italian coffee. The burden one must bear!
We are planning a few day trips to local vineyards and Barcelona, Spain (a couple of hours drive southwest) and will keep you posted on all the details. Miss you all my friends!

Peace
