After having a few visitors over the last few weeks, we've begun to realize how much there is to see and do in our area. We live in a department (more or less comparable to a county in the US) called Ariège, which is in the region of the Midi-Pyrenees.
Composed of 26 administrative regions and 100 departments, France has very distinct regional geographies, cultures, and identities. By traveling a short distance, significant differences can be seen, which makes exploring the area fascinating and thought provoking. While a bit sensationalist at times, the website above has some excellent pictures and info about the area that we live in. A few suggestions might be... Toulouse, the suspension bridge of Milau Viaduct, Rocamadour and Gavarnie or Pic Du Midi for starters. The Ariège Collection also has some of the prehistoric rock art that can be found scattered throughout our region. Let us know if you find anything that peaks your interest!
Thank you for a once in a lifetime adventure. We loved seeing you guys and miss you already. I think the Paintings by Chris Rickman were fascinating.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you back on your blog. I check it daily and am sooo disappointed when I don't see an entry. I know, I know, our pond blog is a total fiasco.
ReplyDeleteHave seen a lot of what is on the website above, but I have a lot left to see. Can't wait to explore some more with you two and with your mom, Cam. A bientôt.
We still want to come. Spring '11!!!! :) I was needing a blog fix...you have to take pity on you're junkies!
