Discovering Montpellier

We walked again to town, trying to vary our route but something was pulling me back to the aqueduct and sure enough, the Arceaux market was in full swing.

Chrysanthemums, to purchase, to put on graves, and definitely not to be bought as a housewarming gift. Many seem to be sold at this time especially, as November 1st is All Saints Day. The children have had a two week break from school for this as well.

One of several cheese stands

As you can see, we showed up at the market about just before closing, so many things had been sold out.

A couple of partridges and a rabbit anyone????

We continued our walk into town and then took a little tourist train through the old part of town, introducing us to buildings, churches, museums and some history. A great overview. The train started and ended in the Place de la Comedie and this is Les standing near one end of it. It is purported to be the largest pedestrian square in Europe. Les and I both think the one in Krakov was larger.

And here is part of the children's park at the other end.

So, we returned to a few of the places to which we had been introduced, one being the Carré Sainte-Anne, a deconsecrated church used for exhibitions, which are libre, so we enjoyed viewing the current show.

And just outside this church, what did my little eye spy????  A cheese bar!!!

I can hardly wait to return.
