Saint Tropez and Port Grimaud

While I was staying with Maria in Cuers, we took a little trip to Saint Tropez. It was a gorgeous, though chilly, day. 

Here is the old fish market of the city. It is still in use.  I love the intricate mosaics. 

Just walking through the streets was a treat. All the colorful flowers against the yellow walls and bright doors made the whole place look like a postcard.

The bare trees and the colorful roof of this church reminded me a little bit of Dr. Seuss. Speaking of which, I mentioned Dr. Seuss in class today and none of the French kids knew who he was. That's so sad. I guess it makes sense since his books rhyme and that would be difficult to translate into French, but I just can't imagine childhood without Dr. Seuss.

Another postcard view. I should make a painting of that.

We visited the citadel of Saint Tropez, which was up behind the city, and saw the naval museum there.

I now know how to pilot a boat.

Maria!

I can't believe they would decorate their arms so intricately! How beautiful for something meant to kill.

So peaceful.

After Saint Tropez, we stopped at Port Grimaud to see the Venice-like town. It's a town built on the water with canals and boats for transportation. Unfortunately it was night at that point, so I couldn't take too many pictures, but this will give you an idea.
