Sommerferie i Meze, Sydfrankrig
Summer holidays in Meze, Southern
France
Byen Meze er en af flere byer, hvor der produceres østers.
A view of the Bassin du Thau, where oysters are produced.
The city Meze is one of more cities, which produces and export oysters.
Perfekt beliggenhed: tæt på byen og alle indkøbsmuligheder, stranden ved byen (La Plaquette)
og havnen med dens mange fiskerestauranter og sejlerliv.
We found the house on Place d´Olivier on the internet. See the homepage here:
www.enjoymeze.dk.
It has a perfect situation: close to the city and all kinds of shops, the beach at the city
(La Plaquette), and the habour with a lot of fish restaurants.

Yndlingsspisen: meloner en varm dag på tagterrassen
The favourite: melons on a hot day on the roof terrasse
The nice roof terrasse invited to many barbecues and beautiful views.
Udsigt til byen Sete - a view to the city of Sete
Smukke himle - beautiful skyes
Men det blev da også til et par udflugter og oplevelser i nærmiljøet.
Our vacation was primarily a relax-and-enjoy tour after an intense week en Rome, Italy, some 14 days earlier.
But we took a couple of trips and had some nice experiences in our close environment in the city.
A trip to the castle and the city of Aigues-Mortes
Et særpræget syn: I denne lyserøde bugt udvindes salt (fleur de sel á Aigues Mortes)
A strange sight: In this pink bay salt is extracted (fleur de sel á Aigues Mortes)
The largest cookies and tea store we have ever seen

The halls in which there is fish and meat market
Nice colours
Den strakte sig over 6 dage, og der var bare gang i festen.
Det er lidt svært at beskrive, hvad festen går ud på, men disse fotos kan måske beskrive lidt af fastlighederne.
And there was Féte en Meze - a kind of city festival, while we stayed there.
It lasted 6 days, and there was a lot of happenings.
It is kind of hard to describe the purpose of the festival, but maybe these photos can describe some of it.
Le bueuf et le chevalier
And there was dance on the Esplanade
A marvellous orchester with seniors from the city (click the right picture)

Den sidste aften vi var i Meze, sluttede Fete en Meze med et brag af et fyrværkeri, som vi nød fra tagterrassen
which we enjoyed from the roof terrasse
The skye early morning, ou out way back home, via Reil at the Mosel River
Skønt vejr i Reil - aftensmad ved floden - Karl nød en lille kop øl
Her var mange fotos og indtryk fra en skøn slappe-af-ferie i byen Meze.
Bestemt et besøg værd, hvis du skulle komme på de kanter.
Vi håber du har hygget dig med at se vore indtryk fra en skøn sommerferie.
Here you have seen many photos and impressions from a nice relaxing vacation in the Meze.

We hope you have enjoyed seeing our impressions from a nice summer vacation.
