Murky skies told us we'd be daft to go to La Couvertoirade as our pal Alex had suggested so we decided on Clermont l'Herault market, followed by Lodeve for the Kisling exhibition.
Clermont offered up luscious cheeses, an organic pumpkin, some coriander and the last of the summer's ruby tomatoes. I bought 30 spinach plants for the potager too.
Rabbit was on the menu at Alex's favourite cafe, so we had the menu du jour - pissaladiere, lapin au pistou & dessert for 13 euros each. Excellent. I wonder what the kids had here.
Onward to Lodeve for the exhibition. Lodeve gets smarter every time we go, even the hard hats signs are chic.
The Musee Fleury is home to fantastic exhibitions every year and the Kisling did not disappoint. There seemed to be lots to see, but not so much that one becomes eye-weary. The curator has a splendid eye. The entire gallery is repainted for each exhibition, so the paintings hang against the most perfectly subtle, but strong, colours. Hats off to you ma'am.
