The joys of Autumn in the South of France
Mushrooms and toadstools are abundant at this time of year - many are not edible and are poisonous - always check with the local pharmacy before eating

Vendange
in Languedoc - Grapes, Wind, and Mushrooms
One of the best times to visit
Languedoc is late September and October - Vendange
is taking place - and there is a freshness in the air. Quickly
after the harvest the villages celebrate with music, dancing,
and events, and the vineyards quickly effervesce with leaves
changing colors.
Walking in the woods of the hills of the Minervois and Corbieres - one can find mushrooms and toadstools
- but alway check before eating with the local pharmacy as
many are poisonous or not easilly edible. For those seeking
the marvels of man - the windmills at Nevian, not far from
Narbonne are a sight to behold - and the view from them is
grand too. For those seeking beach pleasures the Mediterranean
is still warm enough to sunbathe and swim.
