Today we depart for the Cevenne National Park, about 2 hours north of Montpellier. It is not a national park as we think of it in the US, instead it’s just a place where land is being reserved but no more development can take place. Thus there are still many farms which can have a livelihood without being concerned too much with development pressure due to urbanization.
So, because it is a national park there is little internet access- so again there will be little opportunity for me to post anything.
I can tell you that we’ll be travelling to a chesnut farm (a big crop here apparently), a goat farm, a pig farm and just about any farm in between.
We’ve already discovered that some on this trip are deathly afraid of anything that moves and whine and cry about mud being on their shoes- so it should be an interesting experience to see them on the farm. I hope I can provide a little help in having conversations with farmers- since many of the girls on this trip have never been on a farm in their life.
Ah well, it should be interesting to say the least!
Then after the Cevenne- it’s nothing but vineyards and wine tasting for a week!
Home Sweet Home… Florac!
