the tricyclist, or corso piano-bicycle.

Each year, takes place with in the village of Roquebrun, the valley of the coastal river Orb, the Festival of the Mimosa which gives place to a very pleasant flowered corso, and also very folk...

One sight
Other sight

The village is dominated by a tower, vestige of a castle of Xe XIIe century, and the church Saint-André XIIe XVIIe XIXe centuries, built starting from the remainders of the old chapel of the castle of XIIe century. The houses border of the streets narrow, sloping and tortuous punctuated of small squares.

Roquebrun, in occitan Ròcabrun, is a French common, located in the department of the Herault of the Languedoc-Roussillon area, populated of 576 Roquebrunais, distributed on 40 km², that is to say 14 hab./km².

It is called "Nice of Herault" because of its microclimate. In a Mediterranean garden with the top of the village, but also in the streets, the mimosas, orange trees, lemon trees and arid plants of regions open out, benefitting from a slope well exposed and sheltered winds.

bonjour,
quel homme! ce n'est pas le style de photos auquel tu nous as habitués mais elle est tout aussi belle et interressante...dommage que tu nous annonces ce festival en retard...j'y serai bien allé humer le mimosas....l'année prochaine?
j'aurai peut-etre cadré plus erré (au max du tricycle) pour eviter les gouttiéres, panneaux...
bonne journée
amicalement

Salut Joël,
if you had only told me about him, it would have been hard to believe it. This moving shop and musical addition and what else - just great. Is he selling his fruits or are they only decoration?
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Salut Joel
C'est plein de vie et de couleurs, une manifestation sûrement intéressante, et une photo qui va un peu détonner dans ta galerie, mais il faut savoir surprendre de temps en temps ;o))

Belle surprise aujourd'hui Joel. J'aimerais etre l'auteur de cette scene. Ou bien, me promener et suivre tes pas sans faire des photos. Si c'est possible de resister. J'aime bien le scenario complet sur cet image. Bravo et merci.
