Gite Ancien Presbtere

Our gite not only had lovely British hosts, a spectacular view but also a nice relaxing garden for us to enjoy. From here we can see the fields of drying sunflowers, sorghum, vineyards and corn. Up on the hill there are a couple of other houses, a church, a cemetery, a mayor's office and a boules pit. We did the little circuit while waiting for our laundry to finish in the machine. It's been quite awhile since I've had my clothes washed by a machine instead of by hand and it seemed like a nice opportunity to get everything really fresh.

I love the color of the local stone used in the buildings, a creamy golden color that is often accented with periwinkle for the shutters and wisteria vines. Very lovely.
