French markets and dog walking

We went to the pretty spa town of Lamalou-les-Bains to check out the market. I LOVE french food shopping whether its the cute markets or the awesome supermarche's, even the local small village shops have the variety and quality a top end English deli could only dream of. Our shops have a lot to answer for. I'm kicking myself i didn't bring some goodies back.
Some of the buildings in town are beautiful and the home voyeur in me wishes i could have a good peek inside.
Je adore the old Grand Hotel with its crumbling pink facade and perfect blue shutters. They just don't make them like they used to. It is now abandoned, do you think i could move in and claim squatters rights?
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH, get an eye full of the lovebirds, Laura and James to the right. Get a room.

When Laura and James adopted their pooch it was a bit fat from not being walked much by its previous elderly owners. Not any more. Peche has gone from Grande Peche to Demi Peche with L and J's doggie bootcamp. There are no large spaces for it to run in so they regularly kick it out the car and get it to chase them up the hill. Brilliant.
He is such a good boy, and i swear he's smiling when he does it! And at the top of the hill we are all rewarded with this gorgeous view (and a bone for panting Peche)
