News from Mollans

stats of the week: run 12 km, cycled 144 km, gym 3 h

My legs - and in fact, my whole body - were still feeling the effects of last weekend’s hill race. C also hasn't fully recovered from the injuries she sustained in her bike fall. So it ended up being a rather leisurely week. Still, I managed to enjoy a lovely ride with fellow cyclist Captain Ahab, who is spending his holidays in Mollans with his wife.

Meanwhile, our village is gradually becoming livelier as tourist season approaches. Some changes haven't gone unnoticed. The bar on the other side of the river closed abruptly and without warning. Rumor has it that the owner decided to give up. The outdoor furniture has already vanished, and word is that The Bistro has been listed with a real estate agency.

On the bright side, the local Hotel Le Saint Marc is now opening its bar to the public in the afternoons, from 2 to 4:30 p.m. - conveniently during the hours when Bar du Pont is closed. The hotel has also started offering Italian ice cream, and its restaurant is now open to the public for dinner. Unfortunately, the only vegetarian option remains the usual Ravioli Dauphiné - my sole choice at nearly every local restaurant. For a more refined vegetarian meal, we’d have to travel all the way to Avignon, which is about an hour’s drive for us.

How has Col le Debat got today's altitude? Captain Ahab is a well versed photoshopper. 



Cafe du Centre at Villedieu: Another place to have Ravioli.



No veggie option at Vinsobres.
