We took the train to this charming seaport south of Montpellier France. Walked through the friendly streets and right into a Christmas celebration! Magical and festive, it was an unexpected treat. Afterward, we noticed we were ravenous!! The restaurants had all closed sharp at 2 p.m., disappointed, we trudged on. The only place open in the entire town was a little neighborhood store. The choice was limited to chocolate candy bars and a batard of fresh bread. We took our strange feast and sat on the steps on the dock to eat.
Nothing ever tasted so delicious!!! As we sat with our chocolate sandwiches, I looked onto the fading afternoon light and had that “aha” moment. This is why I travel.
