21 May - Day 33 Combaillaux, St Guilhem-le-desert

Inge hard at work
Greg hard at work
Off to the gorgeous little village of St Guilhem-le-desert
Walking along the river

I spy a village

The thistle flower is the emblem village and most locals have one on their front door

 
Sheltering from the rain!!!! Lasted all of 5 minutes and the sun kept shining throughout

Of course, Seamus needed some gelato to keep going
Throughout the village there are lots of lovely old fountains, many with potable water
Strolling through main street


Soooo pretty

Was very tempted to get one of these solar powered flying butterflies


 Castle ruins - at the top and half way down

 
The most beautiful steps and terrace I saw
Castle ruins above town centre buildings
Main square

Very impressive alter in the church off main square
...and incredible church organ!
Inside the church grounds
Inge chilling out in the church window
No, they're not in the boys' loo... they are appreciating the artwork
Stone tile in church foyer

Lovely cliffs above the town

Inge in her cool new car
The 3 bridges further down the river

... where we went for a swim (the water here was much warmer than the Mediterranean)
