Bezieres and the Oppidum Yet Again

Mon 22 May

With the sun sneaking through a cloudy sky we head off for Bezieres to share with G & B the beauty of the cathedral and the wonder of the 6th century BC hill-fort at Ensuerene.

I really did want to see the interior of the church St Aphrodise and of course La Madeleine. St Aphrodise is dedicated to the patron saint of Bezieres and was the scene of the slaughter where the Crusaders killed every living thing. Inside the Church, under the gallery, is the font, a 4th century sacophagus on which the scene of a lion hunt has been engraved. The Eglise de la Madeleine is a Romanesque church also the scene of much bloodshed.

Both churches were closed because it was a Monday...only in France!

Overall the day was good and we christened the new gas BBQ with a meal of Chorizo and Chipolato sausages. If you are thinking boring, well think again. These sausages had a taste unknown in Australia. Donna was unimpressed to find the Chipolatos contained pork liver!

The pictures above show the steaming welcome dropped all over France but particularly in Bezieres and, the BBQ.
