Touched a nerve here with two groups!

Could not let your remark about the overcrowded Gazpacho at lunchtime today go unanswered.  I shall  be one of the ladies group having lunch there, and yes, I agree we do get a bit noisy sometimes, but  with have a table full of feisty women all with something to say, it’s bound to get a bit loud.  Embrace  it.  Think of those long winter evenings in St. Antonin when you leave the cinema and the only thing apart  from a few cinema goers in the street is a big ball of tumbleweed, and the only sound you hear in the  Gazpacho is yourself crunching bread. Larry and I had a drink in La Halle on Wednesday evening, never seen so many people in the bar,  families having fun, campers looking a bit sunburnt, and some people dressed to the nines for a night  out.  If we did not have these tourists in the Summer, crowding out our bars and cafe’s, then they  would go out of business and we would then have nothing to do during the winter. Susan Hunt Val says nobody is objecting to happy tourists or big groups enjoying themselves in restaurants, power  to your elbows,  it is just if you know the place is going to be full already why go! [ and it is not for me! or I  suspect many others.] comments to taglines82@gmail.com
