Nyons Market and Seguret

Another market day had arrived - this time Nyons. The wind was really howling today and in Cairanne it was a tad chilly. But, in Nyons, with their micro climate and the sun, it was quite lovely. When we talked to our table clothe guy, Lillian, he called Nyons Petit Nice, due to its unique climate.

We walked the classic route through town and ordered a Savoyarde pizza for lunch, which we picked up after visiting the Roman bridge.

Of course, we visited Vivianne and acquired more tomatoes. We greeted each other by first name. How nice! We discovered that she lives in Pont St. Esprit.

Pizza in hand, we went back to Chez Pigeon for lunch after which point we decided to head up to see Walter McKinlay at Domaine Mourchon in Seguret. He took us through a tasting of the entire wine selection of their domaine and we walked away with a few bottles.

Then we did the tourist walk through the Plus Beaux Village of Seguret.

There continues to be many photo opportunities despite the fact that there isn’t a sign of real life in Seguret.

Then it was the better part of another day gone and we settled back in at Chez Pigeon after a little detour to the picturesque cemetery of Cairanne. We spent the remainder of the sunny day on the terrace and had a nice meal at home of fresh pasta and veal, with a little starter of foie gras and Louis Sipp. Vive la France!
