Olive Buying In Provence - The best Way to Spend A Morning


Market day is Wednesday in Saint-Rémy de Provence and it is one of the most fabulous markets in Provence. The olive stalls are so popular that they have twelve people bedecked in orange aprons to attend to all the buyers.
One of my favorite pastimes in visiting country markets is buying bags and bags of Olives
St. Rémy has become a popular spot in Provence: so much to do and see. There are the beautiful Roman Ruins of Glanum, marked sites where Van Gogh painted, horses to ride, pools to swim in, bicycles for rent, and hiking trails everywhere. The area has now become popular with the film set. The locals bring their lavender into a mill cooperative where it is processed and sold for them.

 The singer on the video was one of France's best loved male singers - Gilbert BECAUD

I saw him a year before he passed away and he was 'electric' on the stage. His nickname was the  'Man of a Thousand Volts"
