I’ve been to markets in many countries, but the Place des Lices market in Saint Tropez was one of the most comprehensive. Indian headdress? You can buy it there. Local delicacies like tapenade, olive oil, and honey? Check. Naturally, these gorgeous sweets caught my eye, though I resisted.

Photo Friday: Lavoir in Saorge
While washing machines have replaced the need to wash clothes in the very French lavoirs of yesteryear, they still can be found in many towns in Provence. This one in Saorge was familiar.

It made for the perfect lunch and afternoon jaunt.
