This is not just a toddler tip, it’s an adult ha This is not just a toddler tip, it’s an adult hack too.
.
This was the final stretch of our longgggggg day exploring four French villages. Yup, you heard me. FOUR villages in under 6 hours. 
.
We’re exhausted, dehydrated, melting in the French sun, and on the brink of snapping…..

🕰️Looks like it’s merenda o’clock!! 🍑🍊

A ‘merenda’ is a snack that Italians take in the afternoon. We take one every day- especially while on a trip!! 
.
So we stripped down as not to stain any clothes, pulled out our oranges, and voilá that blood sugar reset gave us the final energy boost to enjoy the beautiful village of Rousillon 😉
.
So next time you’re about to have a meltdown, choose a merenda instead 😉

And you can even ride it 😱😱 Our two year old And you can even ride it 😱😱 Our two year old was already begging to go for a ride, and after a local whispered us this secret we couldn’t say no. 
.
.
Even though it’s peak tourist season, Nicola was the only child we saw riding it the whole time we stayed in Arles. 🎠
.
.
Afterwards I googled it and found nothing confirming or denying this claim….we were either lied to (unlikely) or this is one of the best kept secrets of Arles. 🤫🤫
.

What do you think? 🤔 the landscapes have Van Gogh written all over it imo
