Where is this?

[rich p]

I didn't realise Beziers was 'warm'.

Roma era molto bella, grazie! Ho mangiato MOLTO gelato!

Parli bene Italiano anche?

Era la sua prima volta in Roma?

Ho vissuto a Firenze quando era giovane, studiando italiano. Questa era la mia terza vacanza romana...ma la prima volta nella capella sistina! wow!!

Puoi chiamarmi 'tu' se vuoi....ci conosciamo abbastanza bene.

Grazie mille, Cat, ma "parli" e informale, non?

Non ho studiato da molte anni

 

[Cathryn]

Si...parli is informal but then you said 'la sua prima volta'....so I was confused if i should be polite or not to you.

I was actually surprised that very few people used the formal address to me...our hotel owner (VERY handsome, it must be admitted) called me tu which made me simper!! Shop keepers called me tu too...

I must brush up. Of course use the informal with me

I'm trying to pick up a bit of Spanish at the mo but I keep confusing it with my bit of Italian

Was Carcassonne wrong?

 

[Aperitif]

It's in that region but think of something man made, beautiful - and it's near there. Unless you have been there I suppose it will always be a bit of a mystery. Shall I give the answer.

No.

A clue: Michel Chevray

Which is sufficient to give me Le Caylar
"carved tree france" gave mostly trees with WW2 names on.

Good - Andrew wins this round of 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Yew'

Your go

Which elm was it?

I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, Wych Elm was it?

The tree is pretty impressive - with the statutory cicada of the South. It is about 35 or so km from Beziers and about 25km from Millau - which is one big, beautiful man-made object. Fantastic.
