Lisa Midi and myself, would like to organize a meet-up in our area.
We have posted in pbase international team a question in order to find out , if people are interested
and if they are interested, more likely last weekend in May 2012 or mid September2012
and if people are more interested to be in our area in and around Pézenas in the Languedoc
or if people would prefer a more "urban" meet-up in Montpellier...

The logistiks are not the same either way.
So just let us know if you are interested and contact us to let us know...

this is just an enquiry for the moment...

Happy 2012 to all my Pbase friends

looking forward to hearing from You

cheers
Barbara and Lisa

I just wanted to say, if the group is small we can use private cars to do the countryside... if the group is big, we need to use public transportation, which is available in Montpellier, but more difficult in Pézenas...

cheers

I'd love to come - either September of May is fine for me. I have never been to the South of France, so either place sounds good. Which would be the nearest airport(s)?

Hi Anja,

Great !f you can make it! It is more likely in September, so there is plenty of time to organise...
Montpellier is the nearest and easiest airport...
Otherwise Béziers... which is a bit more complicated... but Ryanair flies there from Luton.
cheers

Hey, that would be fabulous, and it is still sunny in France in September? When will you think you confirm dates? For me, almost anything works, the more notice the better. I can make any weekend exceptthe first weekend in September. Looking forward to see you and your gang!

My suggestion: We gather in Montpellier on Friday September 14th ... On Saturday/Sunday visiting Montpellier The beautiful historical City Center, Le Peyrou, Jardin de Plantes, Quartier Antigone, Musée Fabre, Pavillion Populaire, Place de la Comédie, Corum... As an option: If the weather is fine we could go by coach to visit Pézenas Market and the medieval city and in the evening back to Montpellier the last coach is about 6pm...



cheers
Barbara

For Anja,

As the weather is out of controle, I don't know, but last year in September it was summerly, one could swim in pools and in the sea...
