| We
found our way to
Collioure by
mistake. In 2000 we were traveling from Bordeaux to Marseilles and
many miles from everything we ran out of gas... As a
spring buck, or hippo – can't remember – I leaped
over the
A62-fence, leaving my better half reading. After a long time I appeared
again. Now with gas and a map full of first-rate tips from my new found
friend – the farmer behind the fields.
»Rivesaltes,
Côte Vermeille,
a boulangerie at Le Boulou and, Collioure – très
pittoresque!« We fell in love. |
