Liane surprises me with fresh bread and pain au chocolat. The weather is so good that we sit outside on the wall and have breakfast.
Fantastic.
In France and in all other southern European countries, the market is always an attraction. On the markets you can find not only the fruit and vegetable stalls that offer goods from their own production at best. There is much more to see and buy. Olives in all variations, cheese and sausage products, fish, paella freshly prepared in large pans to take away, bags, mattresses, clothes, shoes ... a huge shopping market that also attracts a lot of people. Market day is show day.
I just want honey from Provence, which I buy at two different stalls. To compare.
Of course, the cafes and restaurants around the port also benefit from the market, because the exhausting market visit naturally demands refreshment: 12 o'clock beer.
I came by bike and of course I locked it up nicely. But still I always had a little insecurity in me. The bike is something special that others can recognize too.
But everything went well, the bike stood unharmed at the bike rack.
The afternoon is quickly told. Liane bought a new windbreak for her terrace last year. We've already been here for a visit, but we skipped the construction because it was too hot.
Now the project has matured for 9 months and she surprised me if we could do it now. With the help of Momo, a refugee from Guinea whom we met at the restaurant solidaire.
The windbreak is standing and will be put to the test with the next Mistral - but then I will already be gone.
The last evening was reserved for a restaurant visit to Nico's. The "Chez Mico" is a rustic restaurant in the heart of Sanary. It was presented to me as a duty to eat here once.
Said - done.
Before dinner there was a sun-downer in the motorhome. But pictures say more than 1000 words:
Tomorrow we will continue towards the Camargue.
