Today was a quieter day, with first priority being to go to Carrefours (a large Hypermarket) to buy groceries.

After that we had a walk around Beaucaire, and then came back to the apartment for some lunch.

Liz, Kim and I took a walk across the bridge to Tarascon (a twin town of Beaucaire) in the afternoon to seek out a good "patisserie" to buy tarts and a restaurant to eat out at tonight. We found both.

We also had a look at the outside of Tarascon Castle and the Church of Saint Martha.

We had dinner at a french restaurant, with the dinner and dessert being unbelievably delicious.

We are off to Carcassonne tomorrow.

Kim had fresh Tuna for main and I had a gourmet vegetarian dish. Kim and I had the same dessert. Food was so good, we all want to go back another night.
