The mini split worked hard last night to pump out warm air, but I suspect the apartment hadn’t been used the previous week and it was still a pretty chilly night. When I stopped by at mid day today, it seemed that maybe it had caught up. The morning started with temps around 24degrees, which made me head for the nearest coffee place that seemed to have some GF options. After some breakfast and coffee headed to the visitor center and the to the Gare Routiere, bus terminal, just to see what the Sunday schedule was going to be like to get back to the TGV station for my train to Nice. (Runs every 15 minutes and 6 euros, but a bit of walk with the suitcase to get there.) Picked up some stuff at Monoprix for the apartment and for breakfast tomorrow and then did some walking around and found lunch at a place recommended by the AirBnB host. A very nice lunch of pumpkin soup followed by a pork shoulder dish. After lunch, ambled around with the goal of visiting Cezanne’s Atelier which is a bit of walk up a hill outside of town. Lovely small museum with a lot of his stuff and a nice view over the city. After working my way back to the center, I was ready from some down time, but in the interests of not prolonging the jet lag kept it to a 30 minute nap. Then it was off for some more walk around exploration before finding a nice warm bowl of Pho for dinner! Fortunately it warmed up into the 40s around lunch time, but the first part of the day was really cold. Beautiful sunlight comes into the apartment in the afternoon and it was quite cozy. Tomorrow will be the big market day all over town and the start of a Hockney exhibit at the main museum in town so I will go to that. For the size of the town, 145,000 this city has a lot of restaurants and cafes!
