I hiked up the mountain behind the house and took a few photos to give you an idea of what the local countryside looks like. The photos can be stiched together and show the Cevenne valley where Quissac (centered in the second photo) is located. The pictures start from the north and progress to the south. The area is mostly vineyards as the soil is poor and too rocky for growing anything else. The area produces about 2 billion bottles of wine each year.
This is a close up of our village with the stone bridge over the Vidourle river that runs through town.

A French "No Hunting" sign riddled with buckshot. French Rednecks?
That's awesome Carol! It looks gorgeous there; french rednecks and all!
