It’s Market Day in Saint-remy de Provence!
Market day shopping is a favourite thing for me to do while travelling in Europe.
Markets are full of life.
Unfortunately for me ... I was late out of the gate this morning.
I sent my three travelling partners on ahead.
They arrived back home with their fresh fruit, vegetable and rotisserie chicken haul.
I was now ready to join them, we visited the dry goods, wares and anything Provençal in linens, decor, plants, etc.
This market is impressive.
Anything and everything lavender ...
Shopping bags and pottery ...
Madame Susan and I could have used these last night while cooking ...
Checking out some French linens
Beautiful items made of Olive wood ...
A « chapeau « for everyone ...
And cork items from Spain and Portugal not from France ... interesting tidbit we received from the vendor, the cork in France is too thin & fragile to be used.
Herbs for sale ...
Fresh cut flowers
The church bells had rung announcing that it was 12 noon ... we wandered a little longer.
Why not here for lunch?
We settled on L’Olivade
The plat du jour was chosen and turned out to be a delicious dish of pork with a wine shallot sauce served atop mashed potatoes, roasted white turnips, squash, spinach & fresh herbs.
Plat du Jour ...
Most definitely a siesta was now needed ...
Just a Pretty courtyard around the corner from Mas D’Oscar.
