Easter in the South of France

The “météo” report. At last a few rays of sunshine interspersed with showers. The wind is still a little chilly but a million times warmer that Paris or London.

The Easter holidays are not as long here as in the UK. Good Friday is a normal working day and many of the shops are opening Easter Monday. The reason for this may be due to the tough economic conditions or just because the weather has been bad here and the season has got off to a slow start and shopkeepers want to maximise every available opportunity.

However the French make up for the shorter holiday with an abundance of delicious chocolate beautifully packaged in that uniquely elegant French way.

Our local village patisserie – I could not resist buying a couple

Lunch on the beach

We just went for a walk on the beach. Wrapped up against the wind in scarf and puffa jacket

The red beret came in very useful as you will see later

Have a wonderful Easter or Joyeuses Pàques where ever you are.

PS. Pictures of Paris are in production. Coming next week.

Thank you for reading. I really love to hear from you and appreciate the time you take to leave comments.

Chicatanyage

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.
