A TOUR AROUND THE EMBIEZ ISLAND



Claudie's daughter Melissa learned for her exams and I found a way to cover my screen with table sets so that I could see something despite the sunshine. I took these pictures outside of her apartment where she lives for the moment until her house is finished.



In the afternoon we went to Embiez had a drink there before taking the boat to the island which belongs to the Ricard family major producer of the famous anis flavoured liqueur "Pastis"



We took a little train around the very beautiful island and stopped the grave of Paul Ricard who bought the island in the 50th.

  5. All that lovely sunshine and beautiful scenery. The tour of the Ricard empire looks interesting too. I remember Pastis being served in hut-like bars in rural West Africa. Now I know where it comes from ! Have a wonderful Easter weekend, Gatttina. (((hugs))) Jo

  6. The Paul Ricard is well known in Italy too for its liquor's brand.....and I just LOVE pastis! Tested the first time after reading a Agatha Christie novel in which Hercule Poirot drank it and I fell in love....
