Marché des fleurs



 The coeur of the village was a mass of flowers as different florists and garden stores displayed their wares.

We were able to pick up a few plants to colour up the terrace.

Of course we ran into so many people we knew that it became a chat, look at flowers, chat, look at flowers chat, look at ... Many were dressed having been at Palm Sunday Mass. Others were in jeans or shorts.


Women decorated as plants paraded through the village then held a fashion show on the main street between the rows of flowers.


In one corner there were sheep, goats, rabbits and one adorable baby duck.

Not a flower merchant, but one vendor had all kinds of antiques posters. In the middle are the three great men of French music is Brel, Ferrer and Brassons. Rick gave into a 1902 photo of the Argelès route to the sea. One of the buildings is now our butcher.

The temperature was perfect.
