Château of Roquebrune - the castle cat


The castle cat usually sits on the windowsill of this small building which is where we came in and bought our tickets. I thank everyone who has taken this tour and stuck with me. You have stamina! Now, we are about to leave and I invite you to join me for a pizza and a pichet of wine at La Grotte in the village.

On the left a final look at this 10th century Château, which as you see rises up, as if produced from the rock itself. La Grotte is at the base of this rock, so we are not going far - just down to the main square.

And my second invitation - why it's the Fête du Citron in Menton. Tomorrow it's Oranges and Lemons time - come back and we'll have some fun.

    The cat in the window and the narrow door both make the scene inviting. Interesting photograph. Thanks for your visits.

    The cat looks content, and why wouldn't she be?! It's a lovely little place for a siesta or ust to bask in the sun while watching the world go by. What kind of pizza??

    That's the cutest box office I've ever seen. Complete with the loveliest cat. Awww. ~:)

    Pizza and wine, you say? Oh yes, I'd love to!

    Jilly, thank you so very, very much for taking the time to put together such a wonderful tour. I've enjoyed it immensely. :)

    I absolutely adore this photo Jilly. I could readily move in right there. I'd be right at home; complete with the cat to cuddle!

    This is a lovely little structure
    The texture on the walls is nice and the cool cat sits comfortably by the window
