We named our guest accommodation in Villa Roquette after local flowers and trees. Olive, Sunflower, Quince, Rose and Poppy
Although wine has been the main agriculture in Languedoc since the 19th century – many other crops are grown, it is a joy to see fields of poppies, grown for the seed for the delicious bread available in every village.

Villa Roquette is in the heart of an ancient village in Languedoc in the South of France.
When we walk the dog in the fields around us, nearly every day I find old bits of discarded household junk, some is hundreds of years old – other stuff is recent.
In a field near us I found a section of old Roman road with arches and remains of a bridge over a stream. This had been used as a rubbish tip fora lo,g time so I try to pick up interesting pieces of pottery and glass when I walk there. This is some I found yesterday
