A vide grenier and Cordes sur Ciel

Today we got up a bit late and had breakfast at the tent.  We walked into the local village, Vieux, to see the Sunday market which was basically a huge car boot sale with a lot of tat and a few bits of food.  It’s called a vide grenier in French, meaning empty the attic.  It was an extremely hot day.  We got back to the campsite to collect the car and drove to Cordes sur Ciel, a beautiful old town on a hill.  We parked at the bottom and got a little tourist train up to the top where we had a good explore, including a church (St Michel) and eating some ice cream.  Cordes had a 7/7 Carrefour Express so we topped up on provisions before coming back to the campsite for a rest and a swim before dinner.  Dinner was served by the campsite again and was a delicious magret de canard.  We had a good evening getting to know several of the other guests.  There was intermittent rain during the evening and a thunderstorm in the night that we largely slept though.
