The quiet after the last of the restaurants has closed on a summer night in the old (medieval) heart of town. A sight like this can be found in many villages in France, but this is Noyers-sur-Serein, Burgundy. With dinner starting at 8 p.m. in France, it isn't unusual for people to be seated at outdoor restaurants as late as midnight and for the streets to remain lively until very late.
I painted in Noyers-sur-Serein during a two week artist residency at La Porte Peinte.
