Toulouse

Y empezamos el largo recorrido por Francia, salimos de Arles para llegar a la region de Bretaña, pero claro esta parandonos en algunas ciudades lindas. Para este post tenemos la ciudad de Toulouse (Tolosa), la cual es llamada la "ciudad rosa" y esto por que muchas de sus construcciones estan hechas con ladrillo rojo, lo cual le da una luz diferente a la ciudad, lo unico malo es que este dia que visitamos estaba nublado, creo que con sol se hubiera apreciado mas el efecto.

And we started a tour in France (yet another), we went out of Arles to arrive to Britanny region, of course stopping in some nice cities. For this post we have Toulouse city, it is called the "pink city" and this is because many buildings are made with red brick, which makes a pink/light red effect in the city, a different light, the bad thing for us is that the day we visited it was cloudy so we couldn't appreciate the effect at the maximum.

Aqui van las fotos.

Here we go with the pictures.

Visita al Molino de Daudet / Daudet's Mill

Ahora regresamos a los relatos de los viajes por Francia... en este post veremos la visita al Molino de Daudet, el cual esta en un poblado llamado Fontvieille, muy cerca de Arles. Este molino es famoso por varias razones, la principal es que se parece mucho al molino que Daudet describe en una de sus famosas novelas (de la cual no recuerdo el nombre pero solo se que la protagonista es una cabra), la otra razon que lo hace famoso es que esta muy bien conservado. Muchos turistas se aproximan a visitarlo todos los dias, el dia que fuimos nosotros no fue la excepcion, asi que fue dificil tomarle fotos...

Now we come back with the stories about the travels in France... in this post we will talk about Daudet's mill, it is located in a town called Fontvieille, very close to Arles. This mill is famous for many reasons, the main one is because is very similar to the mill Daudet described in one of his famous novels (I don't remember the name I just remember the star was a goat), the other reason is because it's very well conserved. Many tourist go everyday, the day we went to see it was not the exception, so it was hard to take pictures...

El camino que recorrimos para llegar al Molino, chequense... tipica carretera estilo europeo con los arbolitos en los lados... / The way we walk to arrive to the place of the mill... look at it... a typical european road with the trees there
Y este es el Molino ! / The Mill !
Yo con el molino / I with the Mill !

Despues de tomar algunas fotos al Molino nos fuimos a tomar fotos de la vista y a ver los demas molinos de alrededor que si estaban en malas condiciones... aqui van algunas fotos:

After taking some pictures of the mill we went to take pictures of the view and see the other mills of the area, they were actually in bad conditions, here there are some pictures:

Alla esta Arles a lo lejos / You can see Arles there
Otro molino que estaba agujerado y grafiteado / Another mill this one was in bad conditions
Este es el Molino de Avon (bueno la descipcion, chequen que esta en "español" tambien, pero esta pesima la traduccion / This is Avon's mill

Y seguimos caminando hasta llegar al "Castillo de Montauban", en el cual se desarrolla la novela de Daudet (si esta donde la cabra es protagonista)

And we kept walking until we arrived to "Montauban's castle" where the Daudet novel takes part (yeah this one of the goat)

Y llegamos al Castillo / And we arrived to the castle
Wow que chilo / wow super !

Si, casi me engaña, pero camine un poco mas y vi que al fondo es una casa comun y mas que corriente, o sea solo la fachada es linda... hehehe que chistoso

Yeah, I almost got cheated but I walked a little bit more and I saw that in the end was a common house, just the front is castle style... is funny hehe

Y aqui esta la protagonista, la cabra / And here is the star, the goat

Y asi terminamos nuestra cronica de la visita del Molino de Daudet, nos despedimos por hoy !

And this is how we finished the story of the visit to Daudet's Mill, we say goodbye for today !
