Summer in the Aude

fontaine des amours

August 10, 2012

On typical hot August days, it is a great opportunity to be able to cool down in one of the many small rivers around the Aude. A lot of local people use these vacation days as a family outing. They pack a nice picnic, take everything they need to spend the day on the river side and settle down in the splendor of nature along the riverside.

The reassuring and continuous flow of water soon resounds in your indstream and you can let go of all the thoughts that normally run your mind and you return to an inner state of ‘cool’ which is exactly what you were looking for. The river water is fresh and mostly contains minerals of a typical kind but best of all it is pleasing and tantalizing. So simple and so refreshing. Summer heat in the Aude, land of the Cathar people,you want to have this experience too, I am sure.
