Stes Maries de-la-Mer

This place is really pretty and highly recommended. It looks like the everglades. The town is way at the end of the nature reserve and peninsula and is right on the sea. THe town itself is all whitewashed with pretty blue and purple shutters everywhere. We arrived with a deep, low fog and an eerie quiet. It was actually quite pretty. Wish I could speak some french!

We went to the local market on the first morning and really felt like we were in France. They had one stand with products made just from lavender, another stand with stacks of baguettes and gorgeous french bread. Another stand with salami and pate... yum yum yum. We saw an olive stand with a million kids of olives.
