La bonheur est dans le pré

Joe memorised the poem La bonheur est dans le pré for school, so I thought it would be a good time to post some photos of a couple of our countryside adventures.
Last week we went on a bike trip to the local town of Florensac.  We stopped there for a long and leisurely three course french meal and then biked back.  It is only about 5 km each way on the straight road, but we took the mud and gravel paths through vineyards and little woods, so no idea how far we ended up going.  It was a really beautiful bikeride.  Here are a few photos:






Another fun afternoon was a 10km round trip walk we did near Cessenon sur Orb.  Earlier in the day Andy found a stick and a piece of string and became a longbowman.  We were also able to find a suitable stick for Joe, so they did the entire walk saving us from lions, wolves and the occassional dragon.






Not countryside, but it seems like a good place to put some pictures of the town/city of Sete.  We see it nearly everyday from Marseillan, across the water from us, a big mountain sticking up out of the water.  So we went there and explored a bit, but unfortunately it was too cloudy that day to see Marseillan.
There was a big petanque championship going on while we were in Sète - it seemed to be quite an exciting event with lots of people gathered both inside and out to watch it.
