It proves the weather can be glorious there in the winter as well. We were there for four days last weekend and it was glorious. It was cold in the morning and night (but still gorgeous and sunny) but we sat outside in the afternoons for lunch in the warm sunshine with our little dog. Not bad for February! I have never been there but fell in love with the area. Dare I say, not too many parts of France hold a patch. Those of you from the area should be very proud indeed.  Just hope no one complains about me posting too many photos, I can't choose between them.          Report

Frenchie, no daffodils yet but could sense they would be coming soon.  I would love to see the area in spring, the mountains covered in bright green grass must be a sight to see. This photo is in the Yorkshire Dales. It isn't a very good one and certainly doesn't do it justice at all but I also fell in love with this area. I know many of us here love new builds with good reason particularly when they are planned well. But have to say, not a new build in site in the open countryside and not any built next to ancient buildings in the entire region and we drove and explored many, many miles. How do they do it?    Report
