The sun is shining (though perhaps not for long as more rain is forecast) so we headed a little north to investigate the old spa town of Alet-les-bains. It is very old and rather quaint. We had coffee Miss Marple style in the garden at the hotel, where chickens roamed around our feet until Millie chased them away of course.
Last night we had a rather tasty drop of the local sparkling wine,
blanquette de limoux from which the Methode Champenoise was developed by old Dom himself. Natalie and Dan brought the bottle and a nicer one we have yet to find. We will, however, continue the search and keep you updated on our findings.
