La Source du Perrier and Aigues-Mortes

We had a fairly lazy breakfast with our hosts Fred and Reginaldo this morning and then went for a drive to see La Source du Perrier as it is in the same village as the place we are staying.  We had to book at go back at 4pm.

We went on to Aigues-Mortes, an important inland port town that was founded by Louis IX as a principal gateway to the Mediterranean as Marseilles was not part of France at that time. We had lunch there and explored two churches, Notre Dame Des Sablons and the Churches of the white penitents and of the grey penitents.

Back at La Source du Perrier it was good to learn some history of Perrier and to discover that is it now available in 140 countries worldwide with all of it coming from this same source.

We came back to the B&B for a swim and a shower and then had a delicious evening meal at a restaurant in the next village, Codognan, called Lou Flambadou. It was good that it was only 20 minutes walk away so we could both enjoy the various wines offered with each course.
