Discovering our Hood

We left the apartment with the intention of going to a supermarket to pick up some supplies. Due to the narrow streets with fairly high buildings either side, Apple maps was not working properly so we just started wandering about to see what there was to see. We found a great little café which served fantastic coffee - Ian could even get a flat white.

After our caffeine hit we continued to zig zag around the narrow streets, seeing some lovely street art, gorgeous shops and some lovely hidden spots for a meal or an aperitif. We somehow finally stumbled upon the supermarket, where we picked up some supplies for breakfast.

We then headed back towards our apartment. Ian suggested we do the French thing and stop for an “apero” before we got back home. We found a lovely little bar, “My Little Pub”, and settled in. One drink led to another, which got us talking to some friendly the locals with a big dog, who recommended the tapas at this bar, so we decided to stay and have some of this. I drank cosmopolitans because they were half price - this place has a happy hour from 5 to 8 pm. Ian tried a local rosé followed by a couple of reds from Pic Saint-Loup, the wine area we were booked in for a tour tomorrow. For dinner we ordered roasted Camembert with truffle, cod balls, saucisson sec and cheese and chorizo quesadillas. It was all delicious and reasonably priced, and the serves were very generous. About 9pm we had had our fill and made our way back to the apartment. Not such a quick trip to the supermarket as it turned out.Read more
