Stories Collected While Living in France

French la Vie

The French Muse: Day Six

 

The French Muse Experience had a marathon weekend: a brocante Saturday in Villeneuve les Avignon, then Isle sur la Sorgue, followed by Sunday in Carpentras, then a long lovely lunch at Chez Serge where we had many laughs and shared stories about what we found, and did not find. You would think we would be brocante-out after five days of brocanting, but no we are not. Simply because the group was easy going, fun loving, kind, considerate, enjoyed everything about Provence and loved to go antiquing.

A French tradition has it that the person who has the last drop of wine from a wine bottle will be married before the end of the year. Suzette did not have the last drop.

 

 

 

 

 

Who had the last drop?

    Such beautiful pictures! No wonder you could keep brocant-ing, you were powered by that yummy looking lemon tart!
    The arch in the Lacoste picture – swoon!

    That looked like a rousing luncheon — so much laughter. I like the pic of you, Corey, listening (?) to your wine bottle.
    And then all the beauty of the following pictures, all that texture, all those details. I am panting with the idea of returning.
