Sommières is a typical Languedoc town about 20 mins from Montpellier on the back road to Nîmes. It has a medieval centre, a river running through it, a town square lined with these trees you find everywhere in France, a chocolaterie and an old school café.
It was charming except for the fact it was minus -2 degrees and I was gloveless.
Happy weekend everyone!
Beautiful town - when I passed through Sommières back in May, it was 30 degrees and the Esplanade was full of boulistes having a tournament under the plane trees.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous shots. It makes me want to bundle up and visit!
ReplyDeletethe light is just wonderful. my favourite is the shot of the café interior...
ReplyDeletehappy weekend!
Your hands might have been icy cold, but it didn't stop you from taking these great shots - I especially like the third one, such lovely muted greys and greens.
ReplyDeleteplease tell me you bought some of that chocolate! love the last shot...
ReplyDeletefamapa - yes & its already nearly gone! the cocoa came from madagascar so we had to try it!
ReplyDeleteChocolate, eh? How about Terre de Sommières ? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe live in Aubais now 8 kms from Sommieres. My eldest son goes to school here. There's a lovely big market on a saturday + flea. Worth visiting.
