Before Everyone Else Is Up in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

One early morning in April we found ourselves walking through the roads and alleyways in l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, in Provence. We stopped in for un cafe et une croissant, then wandered through the quiet streets before the hustle and bustle of the day. Peeking into store windows and watching the locals get the day going, here is what we saw:

a sweet topiary window display

coffee and croissant

and the newspaper to start the day

I love a lot about this window; the lamps, the table

the colors, the shadowy painting... my reflection:)

the burly gendarme and his burly dog

get their morning going

couldn't wait 'til this antiquaire opened!

General Charles de Gaulle's speech in 1940

the "general store" in town before the day's rush

of customers

the Easter delectables in the window

of one of the confiseries

what's so funny chocolate bunny? :)

this antiquaries was just setting things up on

their terrace by the river

pillow covers pieced together from vintage French

linens of many types

the coolness of cement in a shaded garden terrace

peeking in another antiquaire

a doorway of local home; the colors

of apricot and lavender I love!

a cool spot to stop and rest a moment

a stolen kiss between the betrothed!
