Day Four - French Adventure

 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

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!
