The magnificent brick building with its amazing Gothic entrance is very hard to describe because it is so huge and apparently the largest brick Cathedral in that part of the world. But... when you enter inside that is when your breath is taken away...it is beautiful. Although it is a French Cathedral the Art is Italian and it is spectacular. I actually visited more than once because I could not absorb everything. The history, the color, the Art ,amazing and a definite "must see" in Albi.

We are a small, fully-operational vineyard in the south of France practicing organic growing, cultivation, harvesting and production methods. Our winemaker, Serge Baux, is a man of passion whose philosophy is rooted in a respect for nature. Only a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean, mid-way between Perpignan and Canet along the ancient Roman VIA DOMITIA (containing the oldest vineyards of the Mediterranean countries), the Baux estate is spread out over 20 hectares, 12 of which are planted with vines in full production. A completely restored 18th century Catalan Mas houses the vinification, aging and bottling processes. We are also lucky to have a unique terroir, found in very few other places in the world, covered in naturally-formed round stones sitting on a clay bedrock, and we boast strictly manual green harvests with highly-selective hand-sorting of our grapes, producing exceptionally high-quality wines.

Historical tour : travel through time, visit the 12 thcentury chapel, the chateau built in 1202 by the Viscount of Pezenas, William of Pezenas. Not forgetting the royal dovecote with more than 150 nesting boxes, that dates from the 15th century and served as an indication of the estate's wealth. In the winery, discover the secrets of a traditional vinification method that respects the fruit and the characteristics of the grape varieties. Guided, interactive tour, during which any questions are welcome. Tasting; the most popular part of the tour... We encourage a genuinely shared tasting experience, in which people talk about the wines. Our objective is to help visitors understand the wine and what we try to achieve. Essentially, it is an introduction to tasting, a convivial, interactive occasion at which visitors are encouraged to express their feelings about the wines.

This was great. The guide was really informative and enthusiastic about the history of this marvelous building. In addition we learned a lot about the wine making process, followed by an excellent and generous wine tasting with plenty of information about all of the different wines. The tour was given in both French and English. I would strongly recommend it.

When we decided to explore Toulouse, we headed directly to the Musee d'Archaeologie ...and found it right beside the basilica...so after the museum we toured it as well. A lovely church with and interesting crypt with reliquaries...always great to immerse in local history.

This is certainly a beautiful church worthy of exploring. You definitely get a feel that it was meant to be a bit bigger, but, it has a lot of amazing art in every nook and cranny. One really interesting item is an apparent crypt cemented in by a covering with four skull and crossbones figures - one on each corner. Being close to the sea, it makes you wonder...

10. Musee Fabre

Reviewed By Lefourragere
The musee Fabre is a fantastic destination in Montpellier, we paid 10 euros and saw the Picasso exhibition which was well presented and certainly showed his sense of humour, the ticket gives entry to the permanent collection which starts off with some exhibits on art restoration then the gallery unfolds over many floors with room after room of wonderful paintings, - I think the ticket allows you to go back as you might need to explore in stages, entry to the maison sebattiere is included, and whilst attractive is relatively small and won't take long! It shouldn't be a surprise to find something of the quality of the Fabre in Montpellier, there should just be more like it!
