This week we take the bus to Béziers...


My phone locked up because the sim card I bought in Barcelona has expired.  I try to "refresh" the card, but it won't let me in.  John suggests that I simply get a new French sim card in Béziers.





So we take the 7:00 am bus to Béziers.





The phone store doesn't open until 9:30 am and we arrive Béziers around 7:45.  What shall we do for an hour and a half?

We go to Allée Paul Riquet and find a café for a café au lait.

After that, we walk around and find out the Tourismé wll open at 10.  We shall go there after I get my French sim card.

on the right is where we get our coffee
















At 9:30, we wait outside the SFR La Carte.  We are #3 in line for the service. The 2 in front of us need little help and we are helped quite quickly.
Very friendly, speaks limited English but knows what we need and is able to explain and sends us off with new phone service, a French phone # and unlimited text and calls with 4 gigs of data!!!

Now I can take photos again -
After the Tourismé, we set off to see what there is to see.
Narrow, interesting streets lined with shops and murals...


We walk into the Saint Nazaire Cathedral's courtyard and look out at the view

There is a tour available to see the interior, but we will save that for another day.  We do take a look at the back courtyard of the church.


These archways
always impress








We shall be back to see the interiors

We start back to the bus stop...Place De Gaulle.
First, groceries at CASINO, a sandwich at the bus stop and then the bus arrives for Pouzolles.




Oh, wait, I forgot that I finally found some Macarons!
They are very pretty...
