Before you start texting me to complain, I know I said I was going to walk an hour every day, but yesterday was Sunday so I took a day off. Mmm I'm a teeny bit doubtful about my level of commitment here but hey ho. I did get out and about today though.
Today, I took a short bus ride (about 9 minutes) to a small town just outside of Montpellier called Grabels. I've heard people say that it's a pretty place and, now that I've seen it for myself, I have to agree. I didn't get too far though. I really just stuck to the main road (with one or two trips down side streets) but on the way back I found a map which shows the place to be much larger than I originally thought.

It has a very villagey type of atmosphere.
But, at the same time, there is a fair amount of new-build too. And some amazingly grand villas.
Just off the main street is the one and only church.
I was surprised to find out that the town forms part of the route of two major world-wide pilgrimages.
And delighted to find that the town is surrounded on all sides by some stunning countryside views.
Clearly there is so much more to explore here. But tomorrow - I'm going back to Chateau d'O to see whether the strike has ended and the park become available to the public again. See you there . . .
