Propriano day 2: Beware the Super Marnier

I decided to stay in Propriano for another day because I am almost to the south of Corsica and will leave the island soon.  There was also a fish restaurant that looked really good that I hadn’t seen the night before, and I wanted to try it.

I tried to go to some bathhouse but it was closed for renovation.

 

I spent most of the day on the beach, but the fish in the Mediterranean kept following me and they scared me!

 

I went to the restaurant and ordered the Super Marnier. I got something totally different than I was expecting.

I thought they were playing a joke on the foreigner, so I tried to eat as much as I could but when the flies started landing on the abandoned heads and wouldn’t leave when I swatted at them, I decided I was done. I was sure that I was going to die that night of food poisoning, and was comforted when I saw that a table had ordered a round of 4 Super Marniers for everyone.

On the 21st of June, all the towns in France have a night of music to celebrate the longest day of the year.

    I googled it – your blog is the first hit for “super marnier”! No other information though.

  2. Musicians were also playing outdoors here on Saturday for Make Music NY.
