stats of the week: run 18 km, cycled 65 km, gym 4.5 h
With the main challenge in London behind me, I can now fully enjoy our stay in Provence. That said, there are still more cycling events ahead. Next Sunday brings the easier Boucles du Verdon, followed by the Piccolo Fondo Mont Ventoux, which features over 2,100 meters of elevation gain - enough to qualify as a Gran Fondo in my book.
In the meantime, we've settled into the rhythm of village life. The Bar du Pont has again become our daily stop - sometimes for breakfast, other times for an aperitif before dinner. The local Saturday morning market consists of just one very long booth and offers a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. The elderly farmer is always cheerful and eager to serve his customers. Opposite at the boulangerie, Laetitia is enjoying her first season as a shop assistant. Serge, the retired electrician, is still a regular at the Bar du Pont, always accompanied by his little dog which likes to jump on his lap. Every Monday evening, a pizza food truck sets up in front of the bar, though we still prefer our beloved pizzeria in Vaison. In less than four weeks, we’ve already been there four times always savouring the same kind of pizza. The server already knows our order in advance.
