Returning to the square to join a friend, we both decided we were too late to go to any other local sight as it was almost lunchtime and everywhere would close shortly, until the afternoon. So we headed out to the new part of town to visit the Jardin Mayorelle, which was open all day. Son of a celebrated cabinet painter Louis Mayorelle, ...
