Today is Sunday, October 11th, 2009. Bill and I went to the Fête de Olive (olive festival) in Canet en Rosselin Plage. It is our first time here, and what a gorgeous sunny day it is. We walked along the promenade next to the mediteranean sea, restaurants and cafes with a cool comforting breeze blowing in our hair. There in an open courtyard by the sea were tables filled with tapenades, olive oils, and black and green olives in marinades, oils etc. along with fresh baked breads, pastries and fresh vegetables for sale. All of a sudden, a parade starts up with giant king and queen figures of around 18-20 feet high. I have only seen this before on t.v. or read about it and it's quite a sight to see dancing figures that tall. All in all, it is a lovely day.
