Week in Provence - 4

Wednesday is market day in St Remy, so the group, minus Frank went in to battle the crowds and soak up the atmosphere. The place was crowded with stalls in the square and down each little street leading out. Before the big depart we rested over a nice lunch in a traditional restaurant outside the main action. That allowed us to avoid the crowds leaving.

Easy afternoon and dinner of Coq a Vin produced by Glenys.

Thursday the TD  planned a group excursion on our second last day to Orange to see the fabulous Roman Theatre and to dine at one of our favourite restaurants Le Parvis.

Firstly, though was Gail and Kez having their hair done in St Remy before lunch. Tezza did the honours of taking them in and waiting for the deed to be done. Rest of the party did a few chores before TD drove into Orange. By the time the group was rejoined it was time to lunch. Unfortunately the restaurant was fully booked........ Bugger!

We found a rustic place called Cantina nearby and enjoyed a fun meal together. Not the quality of Le Parvis, but enjoyable.

The self guided tour of the theatre proved really worthwhile. It is quite incredible what the Romans managed to build 2000 years ago and still used for plays and concerts today. But you have to ask " what have the Romans ever done for us?
