French Buzz

Last summer as we sat at Cafe de la Progress in Eygalieres one afternoon, listening and watching, it was like a buzz, like a beehive, full of activity with the worker bees returning from the field to share information about the outside world. That is what the Cafe felt like to us, as we watched the kissing and hugging, the drinking, the conversation, and the table hopping, it was a hive of local people who know each other from winters and summers, from year-round and vacations, and return like lemmings to the same place each day, week or season to share information and energy, the French Buzz. Even in the winter, it is still buzzing in Eygalieres, the same Cafe, kissing and hugging, smoking and drinking, laughter and style continues.
