| Just love the French markets |
Was having a lazy morning as we
are staying put today and was having a lie in, reading my book when there was a
knock at the door at 9pm….It was the Gendarme! But only to collect our €5 for
staying the night! Spent time catching up with family in NZ then wandered into
town and discovered there was a very nice market in the nearby carpark. Lots of
food items including mushrooms and truffles and lots of Foie Gras stalls.
Thanks Jennifer for mentioning it yesterday, this is a big region for producing
it and noticed a number of French Passion sites on farms around here that
produce it. Have tasted it and it is very nice, but somehow can’t quite come to
grips with how it is produced. Enjoyed the atmosphere in the market which was quite
busy. Continued walking through the town and amazed with the houses built into
the overhanging cliffs. Lots of tourists around but still very enjoyable.

Noticed no bunting celebrating
the tour and called into the Tourist Info Centre to discover that the tour
doesn’t pass directly through the town but it turns just on the outskirts, about
a 20 minute walk away. Wondered if we would try and relocate somewhere else but
with the number of motorhomes driving around we decided to stay put and get our
bikes out tomorrow and bike to the route.
Had a late lunch at a café on the
pavement, not as good as some we have eaten out but still a pleasant way to
spend the afternoon people and traffic watching. It has been another very good
relaxing day, tomorrow will be busier!

Dean walked through some of the troglodyte houses when we were there.
