You must visit Minerve. I stayed there for a week in the 80s as a
local vigneron said, in the house of of "Madame Matteusse" - it took a
moment to realise he was saying "Matthews" (8-)#
It was her son who loaned us the house, and as she was a local who
married a Matthews, we were accepted as locals too.
We were invited to an Asterix-like outdoor all day/evening feast
organised by the local major and farmer. It was only after a while we
realised everyone had brought some food - mussels from the Med, a whole
lamb etc.
We were all singers so I had a drunken drive back to M to collect
madrigal books, and we gave them a concert!
... and wine around there is pronounced "Ving" with a hard end G -
important to know (8-)# The French around there is Occitan - I suppose
the equivalent of Geordie!
