I suppose it must be a bit alarming with cars popping by so close to your living room!

Normally I am very well prepared for the weather.

Great view, It sounds like that resident was always watching for cars passing his house. Although comforting to know that the weather is unpredictable in other countries, it deals out more pain as you let your (weather) guard down

Thanks Astrid, we had great fun and the driving would have been fun with a manageable car

I do recall a particular rainy day on one of my visits to Paris!

I get the impression, this is going to be a very memorable trip. I love the way you describe driving through France….
Sometimes I would just roll my eyes at the narrow roads and how in the world it is possible that even traffic goes through.
France and rain, my experience. When you blink your eye, it is dry and when you blink again, RAIN is pouring.
Great picture.

Such a lovely place.
Poor C, did you not check their weather forecast before you left the hotel?

I can now really appreciate what a lovely part of the world you live in

As it was out of the main tourist season so it was possible to park in the carpark in Rennes-Le-Chateaux. I walked along the little path to the right of the carpark, towards the Madeleine tower. I took several photos along that path and this was one of them.

There were several mountain ranges visible from there and there was a information board, that pointed to (and explained) the different places in the distance. I should have taken more notice of the details on it.

You nearly got to my valley when you got to Estagel in the Agly valley and I’m over in the Tet valley – one more south.

You should have been able to see Canigou from Rennes-Le-Chateau and on your way to Estagel. I’m trying to work out where you took that picture from. I should know as I have friends living over there.
