Narbonne Plage

Today is beach day! We drove to Narbonne Plage (that means beach!), which is WAY outside of Narbonne – about 40 minutes from our place. God must have been smiling down on us. When we got there we scored a wonderful parking space near an access to the beach and right near lounge chairs and umbrellas that we could rent. For a total of 21 Euros, we got three lounges and two umbrellas. This was more than worth it as it was a blazing hot day and we were set up about ten steps from the water. The sand was so hot we could hardly walk on it but when we reached the water it was so cold we had to inch our way in. We spent a lovely six hours at the beach. We sat and read our books while the kids played in the sand. They even fetched lunch for us so we wouldn’t have to get up! Lauren’s TomTom got us home after finding us a gas station and grocery store. After we got home and showered, Nigel paid us a surprise visit and invited us to once again use his wi-fi to blog. We downloaded some pictures and headed over. Thank you, Nigel, for your many kindnesses, especially how to run the washer! We spent the rest of the evening cleaning the house. We enjoyed our last dinner in Montbrun on the terrace before it started raining. Before going to bed, we packed as much as possible because tomorrow we head to Nice! Merci for reading and leaving comments. Next time you hear from us, we’ll be on the French Riviera!
