We recently spent a week in Uzes, in the Gard, which is part of the Languedoc region of France and not so far from our old stomping ground! The weekly market, which happened in the square right underneath our bedroom windows, was amazing. On coming downstairs and opening the doors, all we could see was colour. From all the stalls with fruit and vegetables, dried fruit, nuts and everything edible imaginable, to the rows of beautiful scarves, pots, platters, and of course, my favourite - the assorted baskets (paniers) - everywhere..... colour! Perhaps it was the contrast between the stalls and umbrellas, and the fairly plain stone buildings of the Place aux Herbes, but it was probably the most colourful market I've come across in France so far. This will be the first of many paintings inspired from there.
