St Polycarpe Abbey, near Limoux and CarcassonneTake in a visit to this ravaged abbey, after visiting one of the many caves around Limoux - where you can taste the bubbly that was around before Champagne - Blanquette de Limoux.
On my visit I found the Abbey closed, but a walk around the village was enough redemption!
Follow the road in the direction of Vignevieille for beautiful roads through tree laden valleys and a ruined castle or two!

Sunset
After the heat of the day its good to walk and take in the sun skirting on odd whisper of cloud here and there.
With luck there is a cool breeze, - giving a relief as one sits outside and takes the red or white, and watches the haze of rainbow colors fade into a star speckled sky
