Seeking Colour Epinal

We know better than to venture downtown on a Monday, after all why would anything be open the day after a weekend, but today is Tuesday and it seemed safe enough to attempt a stroll in search of a little colour.  

But it's Tuesday in August of course, so all of the bakers have gone on holidays except thankfully the very one that we sought out and the covered market was open according to the sign, from Monday to Wednesday, and indeed technically it was but devoid of all but one hopeful trader within.   Everyone down=town has scampered off to the coast or to the mountains or the town in which they were raised for their summer holiday, leaving the place as silent as an electric car.

But the the colour was there none the less.
