Since I arrived in Ollioules at the French Riviera, the almond trees in Claudie's property started to bloom and yesterday I could take this picture.
Early on Sunday morning we drove to the Fish market in Sanary where the fishermen sell their freshly fished fish (tongue twister), oysters, mussels, urchins etc. She bought a big fish, which was baked with different vegetables and potatoes slices all together in the stove. Her sister and husband came over for lunch and we had urchins as starter. Now that I know them I love them !
at the fish market
I don't know what this was, but it looked rather odd !
After lunch we drove to the sea again and had a coffee at the seafront of Sanary, watching the boats and people.

A painter exposed his paintings
We also visited the exposition of this famous photographer, whose photos from around 1920 of the little towns along the sea were exposed.
In the evening her husband had prepared a pizza which was delicious.
Interesting fish market, but I admit I like my fish already crumbed and with chips on the side.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your French holiday.
Now I know the good place to find the best fishes I will cook more fishes!
ReplyDeleteLove the almonds trees in flower!
Loved your pictures of the fish market. I think the odd fish is some kind of squid.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are having a great vacation!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos of the fish market, very interesting! I, too think that is squid. Never eaten squid, but those pinkish fish look good. And that pizza looks really good, too!
Have a blessed day!
