Bob is up and about early. There again Bob is always up and about early.
He joins me on a trip to the bakers to pick up the strawberry tarts for lunch.
He also gets given a sliver of pastry at the organic bread stall at the market.
The melon seller has melons for 1 Euro, 1.5 Euros and 2 Euros. They all look identical. The 2 Euros melons are probably for tourists.
A farewell dinner in a local inn. They've set up a table for us. Despite it having been in the 90's for much of the day they light a fire. Ambience is everything. The meal proves this to be the case. The great thing about young folk is they're enthusiastic and appreciative and never complain.

Good Grief! 90° and a huge fire...I'm having a hot flush just at the thought of it.
The food at the farewell meal may have been disappointing but the baker looks to be on excellent form!
I am feeling fat just looking at all of those cakes. Luckily you have big long walks with the pons.

Maybe the price indicates the level of enthusiasm of the Spanish melon pickers toss into the truck...
That restaurant seems to have a high ambience quotient even without a fire.
I had a strawberry tart like that on my first trip to France and dreamt about it for the next 10 years until I was able to come back.
The dining room at the inn is gorgeous.
I would be up and about as early as you pleased if it included a trip to the baker for strawberry tarts.
We shall be on the lookout for a similar baker's when we come up to France in a couple of weeks' time !
These days we're always wary about places with fantastic ambience - we've found it can sometimes mask indifferent cuisine.
