Weather and Food Shopping
First
things first: the weather, and then where
to shop for food.
The
weather - Carpentras and area, but also you can search
other areas.
Included are the monthly temperature average and average precipitation.

Second – the food:
Location of the 2 largest grocery stores in Carpentras:
* Leclerc - click here.
* Intermarche - click here
Info:
Leclerc has more stuff, is larger and
I find it has better quality food in general.
HOWEVER the fish store at Intermarche is excellent.
Intermarche is open during the week except Mondays -
open on Saturdays all day + Sunday morning till 12:30 PM.
Leclerc is open during the week + on Saturdays till 8:00 PM
but closed on Sundays.
More Food Info:
Jouvaud patisserie: In Carpentras, the Jouvaud patisserie (pastry shop) is well known. Locals drive for hours to buy a cake at Jouvaud. I have been told former French president Mitterand would only eat cakes from Jouvaud when he stayed at his house in Provence. Click here for the link.
In Mazan, here is a list of all the shops - Coccinelle is the local grocery store, very nice and easy parking. Click here for the link.
Between
Avignon and Carpentras, there is Auchan - a huge
grocery store - open very late. A good
place to shop on the way from the TGV to La Peyriere or from the
autoroute A7. If you are tired, skip it. Click
here for the link.

And
who are we and how did we get started with La Peyriere,
stone villa with pool in the heart of Provence?
It's
part of an adventure neither of us ever imagined.
Philippe worked in senior management, Elsa as a professor.
And then we decided to take on La Peyriere.
We are planning to write much on this - but for now just to say
we have met great guests and intend to stay with La Peyriere
for a long time.

more of Philippe's experience of Provence,

What does it mean, to feel at home?
Part of Elsa's Creativity Emporium.
For
those of you wondering, why so many repetitions,
is that the way you talk, the answer is no.
It has to do with search engines -
they like the main topic words
to be given over and over, in a certain ratio
(as in a recipe, add one egg for every two cups of flour).
I do like - and write - all kinds of poetry.
So this is one way I've had some fun -
in this case with Provence info, Provence info -
while also doing my best to satisfy the web spiders.
