Marché Libéation and Chagall

We had our “breakfast” in—baguette with Bonne Maman Rhubarb Jam. Definitely don’t intend to leave a dollop of that delicious jam behind. The coffee pods we bought made excellent espressos. 

Mid-morning we took the tram to Marché Libération, which is somewhat near the Chagall Museum. The market offers fresh and local flowers, fruits, vegetables, nuts and spices, and fish. We always love visiting markets when we travel. 

We wound through the streets and climbed the hills to the Chagall Museum,  then first had lunch at a cafe in the cool and quiet garden. Lunch was a Croque Madame for me, and for CA a delicious and unique Fried Chicken sandwich. 

 

We decided to walk back, as usual we took the long way. Mistakenly. But, we were able to enjoy the Mediterranean Sea and saw a sailboat regatta and watched a man building a cairn on the rocky shore. 

After we’d been back for a few hours, we go down the 57 stairs to Fenocchio for gelato, and walk a bit amongst the narrow, curving streets of the Old City. There’s always lots of action going on in this area until midnight, especially when the next rugby pairing of the World Cup 2023 is in Nice.
