Mellow out in March - Languedoc Landscape colours of nature entice!
Today's photos feature (March 15 2007)


With the empty beaches, and the warm rays of the sun - what can better to laze on the beach. The water may be cold but some of the hardier types will even go in for a swim, at Gruissan


The clear air, the fresh wind, that weekend freedom feeling, raises laughter amongst these riders on their horses on the beach between Gruissan and Les Ayguades.


March is good time to take a walk among the vineyards, and garrigue. To see the vignerons hard at work, pruning, and keeping their vines in tidy and loving order. To see nature from the multicoloured rocks, to the gradations of brown, red, and green.


Vineyards near Montouliers, and Cruzy neatly cut ready for the red ripe grapes of Summer
