montelimar france

Really, I don’t mean to be too rude but I can’t help myself sometimes. This (above) is the most interesting thing about the town of Montélimar: a sculpture of a penguin (or some kind of bird) on ice skates. Actually, it’s on one ice skate, but…

I know! I was disappointed too to discover that this French capital of “nougat” is a traveler’s dud. Adding insult to injury, the nougat is much more expensive here in Montélimar than the nougat from Montélimar that you buy anywhere OUTSIDE of Montélimar!

That just isn’t right.

Bonjour mes amies,

Montelimar is a hub for many vacationers who spend time kayaking or enjoying the serene and peaceful French countryside. The French of this region are know for their laissez-faire attitudes and you have to know this to enjoy yourself.

Be cool and relaxed, don’t sweat the small stuff have a glass of pernod in the shade of terrace’s umbrella and enjoy the going’s on…..

au revoir.
