Palavas-les-Flots is a French seaside resort south of Montpelier.
My mother, along with her mother and new stepfather, spent a summer vacation in Palavas while my step-grandfather enjoyed learning how to use new film equipment.
I find this movie of my mother getting ready and then enjoying breakfast with her mother the most wonderful of the home movies. Sharing a meal with family brings back memories.
My mother marvels at how scrawny they all look; their post-war bodies not yet recovered from famine conditions.
Don’t they look stylish in their sunglasses?
