Sep. 15 - Port Grimaud 🇫🇷

Our first group outing to the market day in Port Grimaud. This market is much smaller than others in Provence but still attracts a good crowd. Dave, Randy and I were in charge of finding the roasted chickens and potatoes, the cheese, and the sausages. Once the box was checked we found a shaded spot for some nice cold beers. Tonight we’ll dine on the world famous plump, free-range chickens and fixings together with market fresh vegetables. We found a great wine shop and stocked up on a variety of rosés, reds, white burgundies, and even some French champagnes. We won’t go dry!

Port Grimaud is called the Venice of Provence

The « supply » of pink wine!

The bakery called “La Tarte Tropézienne” is famous for the pie it’s named after. Brigitte Bardot, sex symbol of French cinema in the 50s & 60s, made several of her films here and suggested to the baker that he trademark protect the name of the pie. He did, and today he too is a millionaire!
