Clermont L'Herault (Part Un)

So I'm gonna talk a little bit about the town I'm currently living in, Clermont L'herault. It's a small town in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of Southern France. It's a small town of just over seven thousand, and is about 32.49 square kilometers. Clermont L'Herault is an ancient city dating back to... I'm not really sure, but the church dates back to the twelfth century which means this town is really old!

The town doesn't have much but definitely ideal for those who enjoy living a simpler life. The other day my roommates and I went to see a film at the local movie theatre which consisted of once viewing screen, and two vending machines as concession stand. The film we went to see was quite nice, it was called La Vierge, Les Coptes et Moi.. which means " The Virgin (Mary), The Copts, and Me... The film is about a young Christian Egyptian film maker who decides to go back to his families town in Egypt to create a documentary about the sighting of the virgin mary that occurred decades before. While there he becomes attached to his family and the rest of the villagers. While there he decides to make a film, recreating the sighting of the virgin mary, with the help of his family and the other villagers. The movie was very very cute and very fun to watch.
