Roadtrip – part 2!

Day 3

So as we left Dijon just as the sun was rising, and we set the GPS to ”Nîmes”, it said 4.35 hrs, so adding a couple of stops for charging we would probably reach Nîmes around 2.30 pm which would get us a bit more daylight after we arrived.

Our main focus was to celebrate to have finally reached south of France!! And once we had settled we went for a long walk around the city.

Day 4

We left Nîmes around lunchtime the next day, so we had plenty of time to walk around, and try to decide where to go next…. 😅

Erik said, ‘well, we’re so close to the Mediterranean, we might as well head down to see the actual water?’

Done and done! We typed in Sète and did our best to get out of Nîmes through all of their oneway streets.

Sète was lovely! But as we arrived a little late (according to French lunch-time) we struggled to find a spot that wasn’t ”terminé“, but we got a good one in the end!

As it turned into a very late afternoon, we contemplated our next stop, the one before our final destination. We went for Pezenas, a village we have such great memories from.

Day 5-6

Pezenas

Erik suddenly took a detour to swing by a vineyard we visited last summer, I didn’t get it at all at first, but then recognised the entrance and it really warmed my heart to see this place again. It was totally closed of course but I still love the fact that Erik had thought about the detour since we reached France. <3

We stayed in Pezenas for two nights, played yatzy, drank pastis and beer, walked around, checked out the markets and had such a lovely time!

So! Our final destination then? On day 6 we were soooo looking forward to getting to the actual house, to be able to cook properly and just relax.

First things first – we went grocery shopping and I was still amazed by the fact my car was standing under a bloody palm tree!!! So proud of us for making it down here.

The house!!

Neffiès

Our goal achieved! And our only evening in the house together (for this time) 🥹 I couldn’t have wished for a better start to this adventure! With him. To do something like this together sure is FUN!

Now I’m on my own till the end of January, and that’s when the adventure continues! There will be plenty more reports from Neffiès until then though, the house is fabulous and I’m so happy to be here!

Bisous! :-*
