Today our hosts took us to Sommieres to see the Saturday market. It was incredibly busy. We enjoyed having breakfast at Les Delices du Liban, run by a friend of one of our hosts. Places like that are relaxed and we were able to eat croissants, break and galettes from other stalls in the market there,
We visited an Olive Oil cooperative on the way back to Vergeze and enjoyed tasting some different Olive Oils - it's amazing how different they are when you taste carefully.
In the afternoon we went once more to Aigues Mortes and enjoyed the historic walk around the Remparts there. There were some great views of the town and we enjoyed learning about this history of the place as well as seeing some of the salt harvesting industry that now happens on the flats of the Mediterranean in the area. We also saw the first rain of the holiday although it wasn't much!
Our evening was spent having another excellent meal with our hosts at La Maison de Pierre and meeting some friends of theirs who had driven from Normandy. There was some quite heavy rain overnight.
