Today, with the temperature still rising, we headed to Vaison la Romaine for our last Provencal market. The next photos exemplify what is typical in these markets: bunches of garlic and nothing else for this vendor; we know about le parking, le camping and le weekend and now apparently it's le T shirt; and the inevitable French mime.
There were a couple of good posters today as well as some T towels with French expressions. One said, translated, "When bullshit fell from the sky, there was a shortage of umbrellas" - perfect for Trump.
Dawn had a hankering for moules frites, so we drove up to Villedieu and the Cafe du Centre, one of our favourite lunch spots. As it turned out mussels are not in season for another few weeks and in any case we were lucky to get a seat since it was so crowded. Neverthless, we had a nice lunch, with mushroom ravioli for me and a varied tomato plate for Dawn.
Back at Chez Pigeon we settled down in the comfort of AC while the cicadas serenaded in the heat. After dinner we actually spent some time outside and the warmth was wonderful, of course, with the potential of cooling off inside later.
