Ayer os mostré las fotos de la primera etapa de nuestra escapada al Sur de Francia.
Hoy os traigo las de la segunda etapa. Un día con un tiempo mucho más benévolo que el primero de mayo. Bueno... de hecho hizo un día de sol precioso.
Los destinos elegidos fueron Sete por la mañana y Pezenas por la tarde.
Sete es una ciudad marcada por el mar y por ser el final del Canal du Midi. Famosa por sus ostras (a las que les dimos rendida cuenta en la terraza de un restaurantito junto al canal principal). Es una ciudad agradable y con el carácter que suelen tener todas las ciudades con río o con canal. Sete tiene también un interesante mercado, pero os hablaré de él en un post más adelante.
Pezenas, en cambio es una pequeña población con un centro histórico muy bien conservado. Una auténtica joya con mil y un rincones en los que perderse. Era la ciudad preferida de Moliere y tras visitarla comprendo porque.
Sus tiendas, aunque muy encaradas al turismo, son preciosas y en una librería además encontré tres libros de cocina francesa que me entusiasmaron. Pezenas es un buen destino para una escapada corta como la nuestra si lo que se buscáis en un lugar tranquilo y con encanto.
Ahhhh y aunque no recuerdo el nombre del establecimiento allí comimos el helado más bueno que he comido hasta el día de hoy. Era una pequeña heladería artesana situada en una esquina. Os prometo que cogería el coche y haría todos esos kilómetros sólo por volver a comer ese maravilloso helado.
Os dejo con las fotos que os ilustrarán estas dos poblaciones francesas mucho mejor que mis palabras.
Espero que disfrutéis del paseo tanto como lo hicimos nosotros…
Yesterday I showed you the first part of the pictures I shot during our getaway in France.
Today I would like to show you the pictures of the second day. It was a perfect sunny day and we visited Sete in the morning and Pezenas in the afternoon.
Sete is a town under the influence of the sea and the end of the Canal du Midi. It's famous for its oysters (which we ate in a lovely terrace by the Canal). It is a pleasant town with the special character that usually have the cities with river or channels. It has a very interesting market, too, but I'll tell you about this place in a future post.
In the afternoon we visited Pezenas. It is a gorgeous small town with a very well preserved old center. It's a real jewel with hundred of charming corners and little streets to be lost. It was the favorite town of Moliere and now I understand why.
Its shops, although a bit touristic, are cute and I found I fantastic bookshop where I got three interesting French cuisine cookbooks.
Pezenas is a suitable destinations for a short trip. Don't miss it!
Ahhhhh and I ate the most delicious ice-cream ever!!!!! Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the shop. It is a tiny shop on the corner of one of the squares in the old center and I would drive all day long only to eat that amazing ice-cream one more time.
Do you want to walk with me Sete and Pezenas? I hope you enjoy this "virtual walk" as much as we did.
