We discovered there was a large market, on a Friday, close to us at Lourmarin, some 7 miles away so we set the alarm for 7 am, got up at 8 and were off in the early morning sun by a little after 9am
As early as we were arriving there was no street parking available and we ended up in a field but close to the centre. Once again we congratulated ourselves on getting up and out early. Already the temperature was 26 degrees and the market, spread over many streets, was just beginning to fill with keen market goers. Click here for Lourmarin Market
I'm not going to waffle on about the typical French market and the variety of vegetables on sale, the olives, a hundred different types of bread, cheese, and the soaps, the meats of course and many French design clothes for ladies, gents, childrens and babies.
Apart from a couple of drinks, our only purchase was a big bag of black olives.
Oh and there was music too....
Back for a late lunch only to discover, after a little detective work, that the inline pressure switch on our water system and started to leak and, being a sealed unit, I'm unable to fix it so we have no water from the taps now for the rest of the holiday. A slight annoyance but we'll survive.
