Lagrasse July 2006

Few cities in the world are so identified by a place of peace and serenity hidden jewel like Ann & Chris’ Lagrasse abode. And congratulations come not only from their fabulous decorating with artifacts and trinkets from across the world, but their attention to detail in preserving the integrity and history of the house is admirable.
Activities are plentiful from hiking Fesse de Charlemagne, to wine tasting (Borde Rouge), castles such as Peyrepertuse, unparalleled culinary adventures (too many to mention), Abbey Fontfroide (if you’re lucky you’ll see the guard dogs in lieu of gargoyles!), rock pools at Ribaute, canal at Homps, day tours to Minerve, Carcassonne, and our favorite seaside town of Collioure. (Someone told us that the Knights Templar built the phallic like structure, although no facts were checked in preparation of this caption.) The seafood was so fresh that a little lively crab made its way off of our seafood platter. (That was a first!)
In summary, our touring, wine tasting, and culinary adventures were phenomenal and gave great pleasure to this discerning travel group. We had a blast, highly recommend, and would absolutely prowl the region again!
