Day four took us to Lourmarin Market and lunch.
I was thrilled to see this market once more, as I visited it several years ago and loved it.
This fountain and castle had remained all these years firmly in my heart; so I had to walk to the end of the row of vendors just to see them once more.
From this market I brought home some tapenade, nougat with cherries, fish (cod) pate, and a scarf for my daughter. Oh the flavors of France!!!!
Lunch was in a restaurant next to the market. I had a creamy, lemon pasta that I am still drooling over in my memory of it.
As we were enjoying lunch a woman heard us speaking English and stopped to see where we were from. As we chatted with her I found out she was from Camas, Washington and she knew some of the same places I knew, such as the local antique mall and my church. Small world for sure.
It was a lovely day, returning to a place I quite enjoyed in the past. It sang to my heart for sure.
Sending love,
Marilyn

It's wonderful to return to a place you loved the first time. All the French food makes my mouth water!
Lavender and cheese. I'm already in heaven -- and the rest of the market looked fabulous too. Your pasta looks great and best of all, you were somewhere you really liked!
This adventure was meant to be! I'm so glad you got to enjoy it and appreciate all you are sharing.
