Le Lavandou

A day in the local town of Le Lavandou.    After our morning walk, and a leisurely breakfast, we set out to see the market in Le Lavandou.   This was held in a large carpark, and by the time we arrived it was very busy, and quite hot.   Always interesting and plenty to see.   I over did it on the garlic buying.   I think I have enough to supply the whole family.
 The same carpark, in the afternoon, after the market had left.    It was hard to believe that the area had been filled with market stalls, and people, only a few hours before.
 After the market we went across the road to a temporary summer cafe.   The coffee was pretty poor but the owner had plenty of personality.    Diana managed to get a free drink of rose.   Plenty of charm there.
 A walk along the sea front, in the warm sunshine.    There were plenty of people on the beach, soaking up the sun, and getting nicely tanned, or sun burnt, depending on the type of skin.
 We continued walking around the sea front to the port, and I think the sorting out of nets on this little fishing boat kept our four interested for a while.    No doubt they were thinking of rough seas, small boats and danger.    
David admiring this large sailing boat.   It was a beauty, came with a crew too.
 And we watched the games of boules being played in earnest.     Some aggressive play going on.
And then off to the shops to purchase some local fashions.    And there were some good purchases, for the discerning buyers.
