Lagrasse

Officially 'one of the most beautiful villages in France', Lagrasse is a small town nestled at the confluence of two valleys, and linked to the Benedictine abbey to which it owed its original prosperity by two graceful bridges spanning the river Orbieu. The view of this classic scene, apparently little changed since medieval times, from the winding road that descends into the town from the direction of Narbonne is the subject of endless postcards and holiday photographs.

Our group had a wonderful lunch here, not to mention a great photo outing. I also purchased a really interesting honey wine (hydromel aka French mead) to take home as a souvenir.
