Hi Stewart and Ziners
Nice has a fabulous market. Not sure if it is on every day
but I
suspect it is because it appears to be well-established. This
market
has one of the most extravagant flower selections I have ever
seen
with flowers in colours I have not seen elsewhere. Vendors
also sell
Provencal articles that you may find elsewhere but at prices
below
what I have found in other markets. I bought an herb jar (kind
of
like a pepper mill for 5 francs - pre Euro) which I saw in
other
markets in Provence and Languedoc for a higher price. This
is the
area of France where the multinational parfumiers buy their
flowers
for the essence that they use in their perfumes. Hence the
variety.
Washing clothes in the shower is intriguing. I always use shampoo to wash clothes when travelling but have never done this while wearing them. I'll try it next time on holiday. Lucy, Toronto |
