Castelnau de Montmiral and Le Lavande...
 |
| The Market... |
Everyone seemed to awaken Tuesday refreshed- although not completely adjusted to the time change, the "stagiaires" were ready to go. After a scrumptious petit dejeuner of croissants and confiture at the Gite we left
around 9 for Castelnau de Montmiral. This quaint medieval village was less than 20 minutes away.
It was market day in the village so after a quick tour of the village, everyone picked a spot to set up and paint.

It was a perfect weather day of bright sunshine around 80 degrees. Chantal serenaded us with her accordion...

Around 12:30 we headed back to the Gite to have a dejeuner of Salade
de riz, melons, du pate, fromage, and of course les baguettes!
People took a break, took a swim, then we headed to some nearby lavender fields by le chateau de mauriac around 4 PM. We painted there for about 3 hours. We then headed to Chantal’s charming house in nearby vineyards for apperatifs... We had
Gaillac doux and caviar d’aubergine sur crouton.

We headed back to the Gite and had dinner around 9. It was a
delicious stew of meatballs- boulettes de "Gaby", (tomatoes, onions, chorizo
& jambon fume). Pommes de terre,
followed by fromage, then cookies and ice cream for dessert.
