Dear Susan, Needless to say we have had a wonderful time in your perfect house in Caussi! We are leaving tomorrow morning so I wanted to drop you a note. We really appreciated your friend who wrote the descriptions of the bike rides--we did most of them, or variations, although it may have taken us a bit longer as we stretched them out to take up much of the day rather than doing them before breakfast! Phil of Melo Velos met us at your house when we arrived and was just putting the front wheels on the bikes are we came up the lane. and he will pick them up tonight at 7 so that we had them today. Another great outing was biking from Valras Plage to the L'Oppidium (Roman ruins, see photo below left) an then arriving in Colombiers just in time for an amazing lunch at the Chateau--would recommend it. We also fell into the camp that rather liked Sete: a delicious meal--real food for real french people. Tonight we are going to La Forge for dinner (rode by on our Cooking at home, shopping in Laurens (low key, but great strawberries and everything else) and Pezenas (a much bigger deal, but very wonderful), selecting from all the available varieties of delicious cheese, drinking the fresh wonderful Langued'oc red wine have been high points. All in all a wonderful time and there were many things we would have liked to do but had no time for! Everything in the house is easy to use and has worked perfectly. The deck needless to say is perfect--hard to imagine anything nicer than sitting up there and sipping wine, eating cheese and watching the sun move slowly across the vineyards..... all the best, and many thanks for sharing your wonderful house, Kathy We also loved kayaking on the Orb, and in fact after a short trip one day went again for a longer trip a second time. We also loved the hike from Moureze with the view of the Lac du Salagou.
bikes but it was closed that day!).
