Back in town

I can´t believe that my vacation is already over, but time really seems to fly. To give you another little impression of some of my activities here in France, apart from tanning at the beach, I decided to take a few pictures with this beautiful old bike which we found in our garage the other day and which I love to ride along the canal.

Since I wanted a color that contrasts the yellow of the bike I wore one of my favorite neon pink summer dresses which I combined with simple sandals and a pair of sunnies.

And please also appreciate the older gentleman who was so happy to take a picture with me J

Is there anything better than good food and a nice glace of wine?  In southern France many people would probably answer this question with “no”, or at least with “not much”.  This question gave me the idea to share two of my favorite stores with you.

The first one as you might be able to see from the pictures is a store in which one can buy all kinds of olive oil and vinegar. Already the smell which comes out of this store is so delicious, that I can never pass it without having a look inside and buying at least one thing in the end.

The second store “La Cure Gourmande” is probably a paradise for everyone who loves sweets (including me). You can buy a million different kinds of cookies, caramel and my absolute favorite…chocolate olives, which of course are not real olives, but a dark chocolate egg with a nut inside and covered with a green or black food color so that it looks like an olive in the end.

Both of these shops are not the cheapest, but hey! I´m on vacation…right? 

Vacation

Salut!

The first thing that I should say for my defense probably is, that I have not forgotten you guys. I have been on vacation in southern France for four weeks without an internet access and therefore I did not have the chance to share any of the pictures which I was able to take with you.

Since we have our family house in a small village which is located right next to the Canal du Midi I decided to take my first vacation pictures there.

As it was super warm that day I wanted to wear as little as possible which brought me to opt for my new Zara shorts and, in my opinion, a beautiful knitted summer top in a brilliant white.

Stay tuned for more posts!
