don't be surprised if you hear our mayor talking to you. he tends to broadcast the day's news - or whatever else happens to be on his mind - from loudspeakers perched on top of the cathedral. yes, really.

you'll also need to watch out for the village's older residents on their bicycles: bags of fruit and long baguettes can sometimes make them a little unsteady.

. . . and go easy on the croissants in the morning: warm from the oven, one quickly leads to another, and then another.

these are the only things you'll need to worry about in caux.

the village of caux has two bars, a pizza place with a small outdoor eating area, two bakeries, a pharmacy, two newsagents, and a greengrocer. you can read more about caux by clicking
here.

we don't have a pool at the stone house, but this gorgeous pool, below, belongs to les cordeliers, a friendly local restaurant just five minutes from here . . . of course, their lunch and dinner guests are invited to use the pool . . . and (very) comfortable sun loungers . . . for as long as they'd like.

pezenas, just a five-minute drive away, was described in the rough guide as 'one of the most beautiful towns in southwest france,' with its cobbled streets, pavement cafes, shops, artisan workshops, and restaurants. fresh-baked bread and croissants, warm crepes, waffles, ice cream, local wine and cheese are everywhere - indulge yourself!

the coast and the mountains are both less than 30 minutes away. for a taste of civilisation, beziers (25 mins) and montpellier (45 mins) offer a wide range of galleries, concert halls, theatres, museums, shops, cafes and restaurants.

. . . for the sports enthusiast, the area offers everything from horseback riding to kayaking, and from hiking to caving.

so, what are you waiting for? we know that your kids are probably driving you crazy. or that your parents are. or maybe both, if you're
really lucky.

ask for some time off from work, leave the commute and the headaches behind, and come and see us. you won't need fancy clothes, we don't use coasters, and we don't even own an iron. just bring yourself, a good appetite . . and maybe a book or two.
