Day 10: Narbonne market, Peyriac-sur-Mer, Perpignan & Collioure

Margot says:

A fantastic food market at Narbonne, Les Halles.  Narbonne is only about half an hour's drive from Puisserguier.  The display of the produce put the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne to shame!  We bought our lunch supplies, pâté, jambon, chorizo and fromage together with baguettes all of which have become a staple of our diet when we are on the road.  (Photos to follow)

We experienced incredible winds today as we drove south to the Vermillion Coast (Collioure) through the Pyrénées-Orientales.  Traffic was heavy and the weather was warm.  Catherine has taken some great photos of the mediterrannean but is too tired to upload them!  Although it was only a 3 hour drive, with heavy traffic and speeds of 130kmh plus the strong winds it was exhausting for my chauffeur.  I feel like I'm in a scene from "Driving Miss Daisy"!

On the way home we ignored Tomasina and detoured off into some tiny picturesque villages.  

Tomorrow is most definitely a complete day of rest.  Monday and Tuesday we have some meetings lined up with local artists that Noeleen has arranged for us.  Nothing planned for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, yet.  On Saturday we leave Puisserguier and head over to Beaumont-du-Perigord in the Dordogne.

Bonsoir!
