It was a sunny
but chilly day..
that cruel north wind was blowing
fiercely ...
but we were bundled
and ready for it..
"There are treasure to carry away in this land, which has not found a spokesman worthy of the riches it offers." |
Paul Cezanne
for our second trip to
France..
and how we loved
every tiny minute of it...
There was never enough time, because we were on a tour
but we figured it was a good way to
hear of the history of this town..
and it provided us with a couple of hours of free time...
which was lovely...
the clock tower below is so
charming..
you cannot see it too well..
but the figures change clothes
with the season,
so you always know what season it is...
and what to wear...
our free time was spent shopping at this little
square..
below and the farmers's market..
the people were all so friendly and kind..
and alas,
I was too busy shopping for treats to eat on the bus
back to the ship,
to take photos of the market..
but we did manage to
find clementines and cheese and salami
for lunch..
and the ride back was pretty quiet..
everyone sated with
the beauty and sweetness..
of such a quaint
town..
I would return in a heart beat..
ciao, ciao!
