During our stay in Beaulieu, we visited a small village further south called Autoire. It was a very small, but beautiful, French village home to an interesting ensemble of buildings and a 30 metre high cascade which was quite impressive.
While we were here I took one of my favourite photos ever of this amazingly coloured dragonfly.
There were also some very nice shops in the centre which were nice to look in and to look at. They were also surrounded by many beautiful flowers which really caught my eye.
I decided to focus on the flowers for a while because I thought they were way too beautiful to ignore. Also, hanging from most buildings, were grape vines which I thought was very unusual but I guess France is very different to England!
The walk to the cascade wasn't that long, maybe 15-20 minutes, but there was a very cute house on the way which I couldn't resist taking a photo of.
When we reached the bottom of the cascade we realised there was some more walking to do to get to the actual thing. We crossed some stones and carried ourselves up to it. It was very beautiful and definitely worth the walk, we didn't stay long but I think I managed to capture the grace of it.
Once we left Autoire we travelled west to a neighbouring village called Carrenac. Carrenac is also a very beautiful French village home to a great church and a castle running along side it.
The main window in the church was amazing and the stain glass detailing was super, it really brought the church to life and is definitely the best stained-glass window I have ever seen.
The streets of Carrenac were quite quiet and we didn't say as long because it was quite late in the afternoon. However, the buildings looked very medieval and overall the place was very relaxing.
Thanks for reading! The next part will be posted soon:)
