We've seen signs for a Flea Market (Marché aux Puces) in a town just 8 km from us. And Neuf-Brisac is having a craft fair. So that's our plan for the day. A slow morning and something different to do.
As in the US, flea market vendors vary from local folks selling things they no longer need to people who make their living selling old and/or new stuff.
It's easy to see where the flea market is by the cars lining the streets and filling the parking lots around the area on the edge of town. Vendors are arranged in 4 rows facing each other with an aisle down the middle for a total of 8 rows and a few others along the sides. There's also a tent with tables and benches for getting coffee or food.
Dave found a couple of CDs he couldn't resist for 1 Euro each, while Pat did some shopping for grandchildren and friends.
We came home for lunch after which Pat, Chuck, and Dave headed for Neuf-Brisac while I headed to our bedroom for a nap. The craft fair in Neuf-Brisac was, surprise, surprise, in the moat. Pat used my mobility cart and it worked great. Lots of artisans at the fair on a beautiful day. And Pat and Chuck got to see Vauban's fortifications.
Dave made pasta with red sauce for dinner which we ate on our patio. We played cards afterward enjoying the perfect weather until after sunset around 10:00. (Sunset is quite late here in France due to the high latitude of Europe compared to us.)
