43\u00b016’09.3″N 2\u00b043’10.5″E – Homps at La Maison des Palmiers<\/p>\n

We are getting close to the day when we will pick up our charter boat! This morning we picked up some groceries in Carcassonne to provision the boat & then took a taxi to our “next” hotel in the village of Homps.<\/p>\n

We decided to spend a night in Homps for two reasons. The village is just a short taxi ride from there to where our charter boat is located AND purely by coincidence, there is a well known restaurant there that Catherine’s aunt Midge dined at a number of years ago when she was on a tour of this area of France.<\/p>\n

La Maison des Palmiers, the guest house\/B&B Inn where we stayed is located right beside the restaurant we wanted to dine at.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This Inn is owned & operated by a really nice couple originally from England. It is not a fancy place but is beautifully decorated, clean & comfortable. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay while they are in the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Catherine was especially pleased with the house cat that dropped in to check that we were happy with the room. She<\/span>\u00a0was really “taken” with this kitty so I’m surprised that I haven’t since found it on board the boat with us.<\/p>\n

We had a wonderful meal that evening at the restaurant “En Bonne Compagnie”.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

It was fun to dine at a place that also had special memories for someone close & dear to us. Cheers Midge!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The meal was certainly memorable for us as well.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Saturday) we go to the village of Argens to pick up our charter boat!<\/span><\/p>\n

Only one more sleep!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
