Spring brings guests

family & friends

all curious to see the the region where I live

I take them to a market

there's one most days

somewhere

the newest lunch hotspot

Relais De Mirepoix 

three courses of heavenly food

a rummage in a brocante or vide grenier

a breather by Lac du Montbel

or local artisan beer on old lady bench

this is brewed 10 minutes up the road from my house

people ask me ~  

how's the house coming along?

there is no rush

and there's lots of distractions!

all good 

;-)

** out of season

most towns have market day

but my village only has a night market

in the summer months

so we visit Mirepoix on Mondays

their market is all year round

with it's stalls of produce

fresh ingredients

seasonal goodies

artisans

and shops

Mirepoix is a pretty medieval town

with 13th century houses 

supported on beautifully carved pillars

giving a covered arcade beneath

we recommend the coffee at 

Cafe Castigniolles and people watching
