Description

Just to put everything straight:  Tarascon is on the Rhone and in Provence.  Crossing the bridge you come to Beaucaire which is on the River Gardon in Occitanie.

For eons the 2 Towns were continually fighting  wars......Beaucaire was predominently Catholic and Tarascon Protestant.

The 2 rivers meet just south of Avignon.


Our home is in Beaucaire.  We also have a castle too!

Oh Vinsky I am sorry to hear this...........very weird because we had beautiful weather in Italy but the sea (on the first few days) was amazing.  No waves but huge swell!

Oh the joys of sectarianism... 
And when the floods came both peoples drowned or were homeless - unless they had built an ark....
When will we ever learn? Never if we leave it to politicians and (most) religious "leaders"....

Come to a sailing club by boat is quite ironic.  Hope you and yours are ok Jenny. This kind of meteorological event can be dangerous as we all know, so take care.

We have a huge wall to keep us safe for the moment.  and Happy New Year dear Pierre.
