These pictures are of the Saturday market in Aups, a village in the hilly region of Var. The cheese this guys is selling was very expensive (around €47 per kilo) but creamy, slightly nutty in flavour and delicious. We were told not to put it in the fridge, as that ruins the taste, but to eat it at room temperature. We did, and it was lunch-heaven.
Aups is lovely to stroll around. Much of Provence, in fact, looks like it's part of a film set. The market is good for fresh food and olive oils, but the clothes were rather disappointingly lacking in French chic.
