Daisi Posted May 3, 2021 #4077 Share Posted May 3, 2021 @dogs4fun, we've never been to Portugal, but we do have a bakery up in the city that makes them. I keep hoping we get out of lockdown and get our stores properly open so we can go try them out...they look delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted May 3, 2021 Author #4078 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Now I am hungry. Time for tea and biscuits. Alas, tea is proper English, but biscuits are from local supermarket only. I have never tried pasteis, my local supermarket had a specials before Christmas when they stocked a small quantity, but I did not buy any. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notamermaid Posted May 3, 2021 Author #4082 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Aix-en-Provence? Hmm, yes I tend towards the Provence, rather than the Seine. Perhaps around Bordeaux, but I will stick with Provence or thereabouts. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted May 3, 2021 #4083 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Your right as to France but your a walking day away from this location. Huge clue. CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljandgb Posted May 3, 2021 #4084 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Clue for someone else perhaps. I have no idea what you're getting at. 😉 Glad my impression of France was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renmar Posted May 3, 2021 #4086 Share Posted May 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Canal archive said: Your right as to France but your a walking day away from this location. Huge clue. CA France, Rhone River, Arles. My reasoning after reading this clue; Assuming that Aux-en-Provence is the starting point for walking. A walking speed of about 8 to 9 KM an hour. 8 hour walk brings me to Arles (with a bit of luck). I'm still looking for the street but I could be way off like different city-wrong side of the country etcetera. Theo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canal archive Posted May 3, 2021 #4087 Share Posted May 3, 2021 So far France and Rhône river are correct. If you read the instructions again there may be another clue. CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare notamermaid Posted May 3, 2021 Author #4088 Share Posted May 3, 2021 There is a church on the left, judging by the buttress. Vine and a bar on the right. Basically, narrows it down to 95 percent of French villages... Very straight, so I guess in or near the valley, perhaps quite a way to the South. Is "damp" a clue? I am intrigued by the gutter running through the middle, a typical feature of Freiburg. I wonder if it means something here, or if it is just typical for the area. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it has something to do with what you first suggested re: French translation like Jour de Marche. When I Google Jour de Marche a place in Lyon shows up so here I go with another answer; France-Rhone-Lyon?? Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jpalbny Posted May 4, 2021 #4090 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Interesting @Renmar. A "jour de marché" means market day (if you add l'accent aigu), which is how Google would probably interpret it even without the accent. That would be found in any French city. Spending the day walking (a day's walk) would be "une journée de marche" I think but I am not an expert in the subtleties of French language. Either way I can't find any clues...and I applaud your effort. @notamermaid, I am glad that I'm not the only one who thought of Bächle!

Canal archive Posted May 4, 2021 #4091 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Your all going to deep. For instance one day walking from Aux en Provence but 1.5 to 2 miles by car. Plus it’s a city. It was also a damp day when we were there but is surrounded by the wet stuff. CA Right off to my archive I have some tricky several hundred years old quandaries to try and solve.
