We almost missed it - there were no flyers distributed and no posters advertised this lovely Provençal village fête "Sablet 1900" this morning in our neighboring village of Sablet. And although it is the height of the tourist season in Provence we heard no Dutch, no English, no German - it seems the Sabletains (as the inhabitants of Sablet are called) wanted to keep this true village fête for themselves.
A magnificent Gallic Rooster
Très chic - very elegant ladies
L'accordéoniste - accordion player
This is how coffee was cooked in 1900
