Hello everyone! This is Sayaka from quatre saisons. This video was filmed in October 2024, whilst travelling from Conques to our next destination with my husband Matthieu. (Do watch the Conques video too!) We were delighted to encounter so many cows along the way. Visible in the distance is the town of Rodez, which we visited previously. (Do watch the Rodez video too!) We arrived at the hotel where we’d be staying that night! Let me show you the room we’re staying in. It’s absolutely lovely! This was the place to hang clothes. There’s also a bathrobe. This is the bathroom – very spacious and clean. The hotel provided its own branded soap that could also be used as shampoo! By the shower, there’s a place to sit! The area around the bed is also very nice ♪ I’m curious about the view from the window! I couldn’t see the famous Millau Viaduct from the room window, but I was happy to have such a wonderful view. We shall be staying at this hotel tonight. Right after that, we went to the hotel restaurant. The amuse-bouche was buckwheat dough rolled thin and baked in the oven. It had a nice texture and was delicious! The starter was a mousse of Roquefort cheese (blue cheese). It was topped with chopped walnuts. It looks delicious. The Roquefort cheese flavour wasn’t too strong, and it come as an aftertaste. It might be easy to eat even for people who don’t like Roquefort cheese. Incidentally, this cheese is produced in the Aveyron region, where Millau is located. Matthieu ordered the lamb leg, braised for seven hours. The meat was served with potatoes, croquettes, mushrooms and other vegetables. The meat was very tender and delicious! This was the main course I ordered. Underneath the minced meat and vegetables was rice. It had a Chinese-style seasoning, and as I hadn’t been able to cook for myself for about a week, I was delighted to eat this. The sauce on the meat Matthieu was eating was very similar to the sauce on a stew called goulash I had previously eaten in Vienna. Mandarin oranges and chestnuts, served with mandarin ice cream. There were biscuits included too. Matthieu found the ice cream too cold and struggled to say much about it. It’s good. Apparently, the biscuits with chestnuts were very tasty. I ordered an autumnal dessert featuring figs. The ice cream also had a fig flavour and a texture somewhat reminiscent of sweet red bean paste. After the meal, we ordered coffee. A financier came with it. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was lovely too. If you stay at this hotel, I’d definitely recommend trying this restaurant! We were tired from moving around all day, so we went to bed early. Day 2. We woke to the sound of church bells. We had breakfast at the hotel. The coffee prepared by the staff was absolutely delicious. We stayed until the very last minute before check-out, so it was already 11 o’clock. Spotted a little cat in the car park! Perhaps it lives nearby? In the end, it never showed us its cute face. We arrived in the town of Millau. Church bells could be heard ringing from somewhere. And now we’re about to enter this church. This Notre-Dame de l’Espinasse Church was built in the 11th century. In 1070, permission was granted by the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Victor in Marseille to establish a monastery here, and the church was then named ‘Sainte-Marie de Millau’. The church’s current name derives from the relic worshipped here in the 13th century: the Crown of Thorns. During the Wars of Religion, Protestants attacked the church and monastery three times, destroying the buildings. As Catholic worship was prohibited in Millau at the time, the church remained in ruins until 1601, and the bell tower collapsed in 1613. Reconstruction of the building began in 1633, and the church reopened in 1646. In 1939, Jean Bernard painted scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary and Christ on the ceiling of the apse. This museum is housed in a mansion originally built around 1738 by Pégarolle, a councillor of the Toulouse Parliament. It offers free access to exhibits on archaeology and the long-established leather glove industry in Millau. To the right was the indoor market. Opened in 1889, this indoor market operates from Wednesday to Saturday until 15:00. Unfortunately, it was closed on the Sunday we visited. (It seems it operates on Sundays during only summer.) I thought that building was the town hall, but it turned out to be the tourist information centre. The tourist information centre building is an 18th-century mansion; I really wanted to visit it, but it was closed on Sundays, which was a shame. It’s possible to enter the tower with the bell, so we went to the entrance. At 42 metres tall, climbing the 210 steps to the top offered panoramic views of the town and the surrounding karst plateau. The tower was closed from 12:30 to 15:00, so we couldn’t enter. Incidentally, it is also closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. This consists of two towers; the square tower was built for King Alfonso II of Aragon at the end of the 12th century, and the octagonal tower was added on top in the 17th century, housing the town’s bells and clock. What a shame we couldn’t enter the tower at this time! I really wanted to see the splendid view. The building on the right must be a school; I could hear children’s voices even on Sunday. There are so many lovely buildings! Matthieu says, ‘This might be a music school.’ It looks like a library. We’ve went to the opposite side of the indoor market. Goodness! There was a little cat right in the middle of town. Matthieu seemed rather startled when he tried to stroke the little cat. The cat has gone now. Millau may not see such large numbers of tourists outside the summer months. We’ve reached the vicinity of our destination church. It’s a little way from the centre. The church is larger than I imagined, almost cathedral-like. Is the church open? I always worry until I see the doors open. Unfortunately, the church doors were closed. This Sacré-Cœur Parish Church, founded in 1876 by the curate of Notre-Dame de l’Espinasse we visited earlier, is a Neo-Romanesque church whose consecration ceremony took place in September 1892. Returning to the square of the original church, we now head towards Pont Vieux, passing through the old town to see the bridge. It’s mostly a residential area. Is this a school? Or church? What a lovely-looking restaurant. This Porte de Voultre has existed since at least the 13th century and gives its name to the entire district. This area was apparently a working-class district from olden times, home to farmers and leatherworkers. Speaking of leather craftsmen, I mentioned earlier that there is an exhibition of leather gloves at the museum, but in Millau, sheepskin gloves were particularly famous. The Jurassic limestone region surrounding Millau is a vast plateau where few people venture, and because it is rocky and dry, it is not very suitable for agriculture. Two industries born from the characteristics of this land were the Roquefort cheese industry, which uses sheep’s milk, and the production of Millau gloves, which uses the skin of young lambs. It’s quite hot today. Let’s turn left. It seems we were going in a completely different direction, so we’ll turn left again. This street also looks old. There are some recently built buildings around here too! I thought it resembled the atmosphere of the town of Castres, which I had visited before. The window glass of the building in front is broken… Perhaps it is an unused building. The Millau Viaduct came into view before us! Pont vieux came into view. It is not clearly visible from here, but there are two bridges. Bridge ① has cars passing over it, but Bridge ② only has two arches and a watermill. Several days before our arrival, it had been raining continuously, so the river water was muddy. The river flow was very high that day. The house on the right here was also very lovely. The lower part looks old, but the upper red section might have been restored or added later! The path ahead looked a bit rough. Construction of Pont-Vieux is thought to date back to the 11th century. Following the 1758 Tarn River flood, only the two arches and the mill house remain today. Pont-Vieux has been listed as a historic monument since 23 January 1934. This new bridge was built next to Pont Vieux in 1821. We pass through here to return to the road. This underpass is very convenient. We’re back on the road now. We’re heading back to the car park now. (Actually, after this, we went to the village of Peyre, which I mentioned the other day.) The town of Millau was larger than I had imagined. There was the newer part with shops and the old town with many residences. It was a bit of a shame that few shops were open on the Sunday we visited. With neither the art museum nor the indoor market open, visiting on a Sunday might feel a little quiet. I definitely want to revisit Millau on a weekday next time! Thank you for watching the video right to the end. See you in the next one!

翌日朝食をいただいた後にミヨーの街を観光しました。

楽しみにしていた教会のフレスコ画をみれたのは嬉しかったですが、日曜日はかなり観光地やお店の休みが多く残念でしたが、街を散策したり、可愛い猫に会えたり、行きたかった場所へはほとんど行くことができてのでよかったです。

ぜひ最後までご覧いただけると嬉しいです。
