Fete de la Musique

It's not quite like Paris, here in the south of France. A little more relaxed, a little less cultural.

But, on the beach this afternoon, two young guys brought their guitars and played simple songs for everyone nearby. It wasn't a show, just another quiet Sunday afternoon on the beach.

The beach is called, Les Fosses. It is an incredibly beautiful bay, lined with rocks and pine trees. A pebbly, semi-sandy beach lets everyone enjoy the day.

Later tonight there will be some kind of band in the town square. Young children will be chasing each other and dancing, adolescents will be hanging around, smoking and gossiping. Us "oldies" will listen for a few minutes and go home to bed.
