Millau. Brilliant day today featuring two three course meals and sight of one of the most beautiful structures in the world.
We caught a train from Bedarieux just before 10 and enjoyed a hour's trip through the beautiful Languedoc countryside. Arriving in Millau we went for a coffee and a wander through the market before sitting down for a fantastic lunch. The French really know how to do lunch - everything stops between 12 and 2, except waiters and chefs. I had carpaccio of salmon followed by grilled cuttlefish and finished off with orange and Cointreau sorbet.
After lunch we climbed the town belfry (200 steps, 80m) for a view of the amazing Millau Viaduc. If you've never seen this bridge then please stick the name into Google - it's spectacular; and designed by Sir Norman Foster (stick that one Froggies!).
The rest of the afternoon was spent checking out Millau before getting the train back just before six.
We had dinner at La Forge in Bedarieux. Three courses again (mousse de foie blond, cassoulet de pecheur and chocolate mousse) all for €16 - it would have been £30 at home.
I'm stuffed but the day has been a really memorable one - can't believe we're going home tomorrow.
