After a quiet morning at the markets (the rain and thunderstorms kept the hordes away) and a nice sietsa our neighbour, Nicole, took us to visit the little hill top village of Rennes-le-Chateau. The road winds narrowly and daringly upward until you reach the tiny streets of the village. From here the views are incredible with a panorama of the Haute Valley and the mountains further south. Anyone who loves high drama and intrigue should take a look at
Rennes-le-Chateau wikipedia to check out one of the reasons that the village is so popular. All you Dan Brown fans out there will be itching for more!
We returned to the lower grounds and detoured to Rennes-les-Bains to see where people like to take 'the cure' or enjoy the natural hotsprings. You can have a nudie bath in public if you like or put your bathers on and take a swim in the piscine. I know what I'll be doing.
