St. Remy de Provence

We always enjoy market day, Wens., in St. Remy. As with most French markets, going early is better in the summer to avoid the heat and the crowds. One of our goals this year was to really pay attention to vendors in the markets we go to each week so we could learn which ones have the best local foods. We realized that our favorite cheese vendor from the Apt market is also each week in St. Remy and in Eygallieres. We recognize the clothes and tablecloth vendors. It took D. about 15 seconds to insult one in Apt by asking whether the cloths were manufactured in China (they are) even if they are designed in France (they are) and finished in France (they are). We saw the same vendor in St. Remy and knew to avoid him.
