CHRISTMAS SEASON HAS arrived. The sure signs: twinkling lights everywhere, Christmas songs on the radio , and Les Marchés de Noël . Every village and town seems to have one and today it was our turn in Le Rouret. It's actually our favorite event of the year, mainly because the entire square is transformed into a Christmas market from about 100 years ago -- complete with demonstrations on cheese making, blacksmiths making utensils, stone cutting and wood carving artisans making cups and bowls by hand, bakers showing the art of bread making, and even a guy making horseshoes and fitting them on his horses.
Of course there is also food and products to buy. We walked to the market empty handed but returned with a few bags of goodies.

The village center filled with artisan tents.
Paying close attention to the art of bread making. The old-fashioned way.
It was a beautiful day in the South of France.
Henry watched this guy make horse shoes for about 45 minutes. It really was quite fun to watch.
