Lazy daze in St Tropez


Our two weeks in Provence has provided the opportunity to gain another perspective on living in France. The coastal areas are captivating as, on the surface, life for the French boomers looks great. There are plenty of joggers, rollerblades, walkers and bike riders making their way along the beach promenades in the autumn sunshine. The white pointers are plentiful on the stone covered beaches and there are still a surprising number of people enjoying the sun and a dip in the sea as we have done several times this week. Other boomers and some older people are escaping home duties to spend a few hours fishing from rocky outcrops along the coast. And then there are those that have spent their money on a boat drifting along the many sea lanes around here. Everybody is sooo relaxed around here. Does anybody work?
