Goodbye Pyrenees, Hello Provence

Sunday, July 16
After a wonderful five days in Arreau, we left the Hotel d'Angleterre on Sunday


and drove 570 km from the Pyrenees to out B&B in the Luberon, Le Mas Perreal.  Traffic was heavy around some of the larger cities since it was the end of the Bastille Day weekend.

We stopped for lunch in the city of Narbone and had a fantastic lunch; definitely worth a few photographs!







After lunch we took a short drive over to Narbone Beach which is right on the Mediterrean.  


We arrived at our B&B around 5:30 PM, visited with the owners Kevin and Elisabeth, unpacked, showered and headed off to the nearby village of Goult for dinner.  Although we've had dinners in this village two other times, this restaurant was the best for food and atmosphere.  Out table was on the second floor outdoor terrace.  



Another incredible meal, and definitely photo worthy.






Our appetizers:  marinated grill tuna for Joni, temporary langoustines & gazpacho for me
Our main dishes:  crust of roast lamb with herbes for Joni, Hake in a chorizo butter sauce for me

Desserts:  candied orange zest nougat glace with apricot sauce for Joni, goat cheese drizzled with honey and walnuts for me
