the bridge over the fesquel river is 2 lane and the petenque courts are just above the kids on the
bank
we stayed out in pennautier about 5 min NW of carcassonne. it is small and the house is in the OLD part of the village. the house itself has 3 floors 1 1/2 baths and 2 bedrooms. it was only 11x30 feet so about 1000 sf. there is no back door just the openings on the front. the whole house couldn't be photo'd since the street was about 2 small car width's wide. at the end of the street, we had to pull in the side mirrors to get out. motor scooters are very poplar.
these stairs went up to my room on the 3rd floor. they were very steep and i never drank anything after dinner.
many of the lentels in the town and dates of 16--. it is very lively. these kids lived within a few doors of ours. they came by every evening. they all have dogs at home.
every night we drove by these petenque courts at the bridge the men were playing. we stopped to watch and they let me take pictures. they reminded me of don drew and his friends. not sure but they seemed to meet and play a few fames before heading home to eat dinner. some watched and some played but they all had ongoing conversations. i didn't see any beer but maybe they had drunk it all. just a sociable, lively group of friends or neighbors.
