This morning we went back to the big market in St. Marcellin, which is about 20 minutes away. We love markets, they is always something interesting to look at and so many people to watch! :-) Love the sausages, the amazing cheese, all the yummy smells coming from all the various stalls. Today we bought an assortment of snacky foods to try for lunch... some little deepfried "things".. they were sort of like croquettes, but with fish? And crepes with various savoury fillings.
And I found these super awesome shoes! They say they are made in France and I think they look to be well made? I don't know... I just know that I looked at these very same shoes 1 block away in a fancy shoe shop and they were way more expensive. Anyway, I scooped them up, they are so cute.
And Cameron found a watch, and Ruby found a France jersey and shorts for $5 Euros. Great fun.
From there we just started driving... left all the maps at home so we just drove with no real destination. First top was back to St. Antoine (where the beautiful Abby is), because I needed to go to the bathroom, and I remembered it being tolerable there! :-) There was a little music festival going on so we stayed to listen to some live music for awhile. The weather was perfect - cloudy and about 24 degrees.. about 15 degrees cooler than the last time we visited!! We then got back into the car to explore some more.
We stumbled upon yet another church, built before 1000. In the middle of no where on a small country road. Mind boggling! They have plans to restore it but for now, it is only open a few times per year, for special mass.
We ended up in Roybon, where we found a good place for the kids to swim in the lake. It was actually raining a bit when we arrived so it wasn't busy at all... but by the time we left the sun had come out and it was starting to get busy. So that was a welcome stop for the kids!
