On a cloudy day in Provence – what to do?
It was Monday, October 4, 2010. Claudie and Pierre had left the House and gone to work.
We wake up late and had some breakfast, prepared by Pierre before he left.
As allways very good.
We could not sit just here all day. Besides, heavy clouds were on it’s way.
And it was blowing. Click on the Photo and watch the Trees.
So what to do? We went South.
To the peninsula of Giens.
The southern part of Hyères, which I did visit first time in 1967.
As a student. We slept on the Beach at that time;).
Time changes.
Here is from the south west side of the peninsula, at the marina.
I f you love the famouse french fish pot, you can have it here. But keep in mind the serving hours. We arrived 5 minutes too late for Lunch and the Bouillabaisse.
So we went to the other side of this tiny, charming peninsula, to La Tour Fondue.
And had a local tradtion for Lunch: Moules aux Frites.
Here you see the fortresse – settled on a very tiny Island.
La Tour de Fondue is the main port to visit L’îles d’Or – the Golden Islands of The 3 Hyères Islands. Recommended when you are in the Area.
On our way back to Claudie and Pierre we thought about to give them a surprise during their working week days – some delicious cakes for dessert.
After the cakes, we had fun watching photos of ourselfs and even manipulated the Photos.
Afterwards we was introduced to some extrodinary video-clips with famous french singer Serge Gainsbourg.
He is without no doubt one of a kind.
Take a minute and watch when he met Whitney Houston on Direct TV.
You must watch the Clip to believe it. What he said to her is not suitable on this blog.
He is most known for: Je t’aime moi non plus, with Jane Birkin

More to come.... so stay tuned

Härliga bilder från Provence även om det var mulet! Blev sugen på musslor, mmm... Tack för dina kommentarer på min blogg, roligt att du hittade dit! Via Fröken Hagegjest eller? Är du med själv?
Hälsningar Birgit
Oh, wonderful provence.... *dreaming back*
There is so much to see there! Luckily, because we'll continue going back there :-)
Love that little fortress - and the persons included in this post!!!!!
Great to see more of your Visit with Claudie & Pierre....You and Anna are never at a loss of what to do and where to go....And what to eat, too!
"Moules"....I ate that in France back in 1969 and was sick all night long!!! Never again. (lol)
Oh how fun and the lunch look divine. I'm hungry now.
I didn't care for the clod on the video. What a nasty, no class guy. As for Whitney? She's a drugged out has-been. Just saying.
Have a terrific day. Big hug to you both. :)
You got me at the fortress on the tiny island, Tor. Oh my. How romantic!
