Jean, Laury and I took
a trip to this fabulous place.
You do need a car to get there
Jean is a lovely
friend of Laury's who lives in Cadrieu.
She is not French nor American, she
is English and comes from Ipswich.
And spookily enough she used to
teach in the village where my
dad is buried and her granddaughter
works in the town where my youngest son lives!!!
On the way back we lost our way to
the carpark .. had a rough idea
but went down the wrong road.... we knew
where we had to head though, as I had taken
this photo from the carpark at the start of the trip !!
I love your photo of the puppet show! Jean is such a nice woman. She's in Ipswich now for the winter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Evelyn .. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree, what a wonderful setting for a Market. Lovely photoes. I, too, love the puppet man!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have been able to explore around the little towns of France. Your photos are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI also love the old man with the puppet show. The market is in a beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteAgain we see what a small world we live in!! See you soon. Diane
Small world. I love the pic of the man with the puppet show, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of taking a photo of the view from where you park--that could prove to be very helpful when you just can't figure out where in the world you parked!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
Debi
Villefrance DR was our old stomping grounds when we lived here in 2008 as our little house was just south of there. The Thursday market, our bank, the Globe where we'd get coffee and our gym. We haven't been back up properly since we arrived, only to the Le Clerc just outside of town.
ReplyDeleteAnother one who likes the puppet show! It certainly is a small world, full of surprising coincidences.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely tour, Anne. Have a great start to the new week! xxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for wonderful comments .... a few more photos still to be posted :-)
ReplyDeleteThe puppet show photograph is fantasctic, look lost in time, almost a different era

Anne, those pictures are lovely and they really make me want to pack my bags and drive to France... Yes, I also love those puppets, they look beautiful. I hope you have now recovered from your evening at your friend's house, it's always a good night when you end up staying over and it hadn't been planned... ;-) Have a great week, Love from London x
