rose - Frenchless in France

Another Day Another Walk

We met at the Orsay Museum again for another walk.

A long boat serenely going by the Orsay Museum.

A statue of Thomas Jefferson. He was the ambassador to France before he became president of the USA.

The gardens are now open. This was the first day to enter the Tuleries Gardens. It was pretty empty at 8 am but I bet it was really full by the afternoon.

The flowers bloomed even though there was no one there to see them.

A Look at the Past

Since we once lived in the area we drove through in Provence, there were lots of memories popping up. We weren’t too far from La Tour d’Aigues and we stopped to have a look.

The ruined castle is still there.

It had just rained so I ran around getting photos of reflections.

I especially liked this one as a drop from a tree fell into the puddle.

We also went to the perched village of Gordes, an aerobic exercise.

We almost missed the poppy season but there were still a few going strong. We were a month too early for the lavender to be in bloom.

We stopped at a wine cave as well. They mostly sold rosé, a perfect drink for Provence.

Out and About

Photos from here and there around our beach place in Chatelaillon.

I love seeing sand after a storm. It looks like water ripples to me. We had a big sort of gale for two days recently.

There was a huge vide grenier on the main street of our village last Sunday. This old sewing machine caught my eye. I didn’t see the little figures below until looking at this photo later.

Buttons for sale too.

My attention was caught by this pink rose and then I noticed that the name of the house behind it was named The Roses. Many places around here have names, many after children.

There was a Hobby Cat fete during our windy weekend. They were zooming around everywhere on the water.

There were filming some scenes for a TV movie by our beach and I saw this lady, not even a main character, but a sort of background person the actors walked by in a scene. I do see topless women on the beach occasionally but not sitting on the wall of a busy village street. I hope we someday see the movie just to see our area.
