A light bulb moment!

In my travel blog earlier today I wrote about the cicadas and them being called seagulls by our Valance host.

We are staying at Studio Les Chant de Cigales and as we went out for dinner tonight Sherry said that Cigales was almost certainly Cicadas in French. Sure enough a Google translate told us that Le Chant des Cigales is The Song of the Cicadas so everything makes sense now - Mr Valence wasn’t saying “seagulls” he was in fact saying “cigales”.

The sound of the penny dropping almost deafened us!
