Foto Friday… Spring scenes in Bandol

Greetings dear readers and amis from a sunny south of France. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous this week, full of sunshine but without the hot, hot, hot temps that we’ll find in just a few short weeks. In short, simply parfait!

So today I’d like to share some photos of one such perfect day (last Saturday to be exact) in Bandol. Now Bandol is really such a short drive from where we live but in many ways another world entirely. Coming from “working-class” Toulon (where we both indeed work, ironic right?), visiting Bandol is like escaping to a resort-town… sandy beaches, upscale boutiques (with high-end accommodation to match), a port full of larger-than-life yachts, and snazzy restaurants galore.

Basically, it hit me last weekend, why aren’t we here all the time? It could have been all that glorious sunshine, or just getting my toes in that sparkling sand, but we had a really fabulous afternoon in Bandol.

I hope you’ll enjoy these photos – particularly the ones of the market (although you’ll notice the prices match the “resort-style” atmosphere) which is in full spring “bloom”.

Bon week-end à toutes et à tous !
