Daniel and Meme Visit


It's really great to have such a nice space to share with our friends and family. Daniel and Meme Simone, (Monique's mom) came to visit us for a weekend some time in Octobre. Their visit coincided with the fig fete here in Vezenobres. We walked through the old village's market place where one could fine fig pastries, fig liqueurs, fig jams,fig sculptures, fig paintings and fig clothing. Have you every really seen a fig leaf? Some of them are huge. Passion flowers were still in bloom. I risked my life trying to get one for Monique. One highlight of the fair was a hilarious renaissance trop that played music and did their best to embarass people from the audience.
