Sunday in Mèze

After dropping friends visiting from NZ at Montpellier last Sunday, decided to stop at Mèze on the way home for lunch aka 'research'. It is a lovely old fishing village on the edge of Basin de Thau where oysters and mussels are cultivated. It has wonderful narrow streets, a lovely small, but bustling, port and a couple of nice beaches. How much better could this get? Well, Mèze is also home to a water-jousting team who were out in practice which provided great free entertainment.

There is a market on Sunday, now full of summer fare - beach bags, sandals and swimwear etc along with the usual wonderful food.

And then it was lunch by the port. A dozen wonderful oysters and a glass of the great Languedocian white wine, Picpoul de Pinet. Perfect.
