July 07 Languedoc-Roussillon

July 07
We decided to stay close to home this day. Here we are having breakfast in our kitchen/dining room, in what was basically a 2 bedroom apartment. We cooked our own meals as much as possible at the time share, because it was going to be the only week we had a kitchen. Groceries in France are surprisingly cheap and good quality, so we saved money for the other 2 weeks, where we would be eating out.

By crossing this tunnel under the highway that runs by the resort, we discovered that Canet has an older and more interesting section, where the locals actually live. We spent the morning walking around this old part of town.

It was very nice, and more laid back then the resort side.

Very nice town square.

This is inside the town church, which was centuries old.

Lots of plants decorated the homes.

A lemon tree growing in a front yard.

This photo is of the grounds at the resort.

This is the view from our balcony. The pool we can see is a large shallow pool used mostly by smaller kids and their parents. The deeper adult pool was to the left, out of sight.

We spent a good part of the afternoon back at the beach in Canet Plage, then came home for a home cooked evening meal. Finally used the timer on the camera, to get us all in the picture.
