Petit French colonie

by Liesle - last update: May 12, 2006

Green fields and rich soil...

This is a village started by a small french colony and eversince the streets have french names... french restaurants and some of the best vineyards in this region. Everything here is made to perfection.

It's winter...

This time of the year the vineyards looks a bit dull, but just look at how perfect they are spaced... in summer they have grapes... if you're really sneaky, you'll be able to pick some Merlot grapes... small and sweet!

Big mountains

The village is surrounded by big mountains ranges and no doubt that this makes a pretty picture... lots of berry farms... fig trees! Chocolaterie and specialize in Cheeses... yearly festivals for cheese and wine tasting are held... been there done that... is great!
