We’re in the Deep South for the weekend where we are attending the wedding of a cousin of mine. We are somewhere between Toulouse, Castre and Carcassonne, in the countryside. It feels remote and wild. It took us 5 1/2 hours to get here.
Everything is different here. The countryside is different. People here are different. They have an accent and strange customs. Some of them speak another language: Occitan. We even saw a couple of bilingual road signs around. They also eat differently: lot of duck product, things like Cassoulet…
It is exciting. We are exploring the Deep South of France.

So you are in the Langue D’Oc! It is different, isn’t it? Bit like being an Englishman in rural Wales – it’s kind of the same country, but it’s not. They have a strange tongue. Doesn’t Gareth Lloyd’s wife come from that area?
We are not in the Languedoc region. We were there for a weekend, for a wedding. We are in Savoie, which is very different from Languedoc and Brittany.
