Checklist for Camarat

There are some things you simply have to do while here or your vacation just won’t be complete. While I’m sure I’m missing some on my list below, I’ve taken the time to write out all the really important ones.

While in Camarat… (in no particular order)

• Visit the Chêne en Croix
• Drink rosé
• Drink Coke in a bottle
• Have pizza at/from Le Will
• Have stuffed vegatables
• Have white peaches
• Have really good cheese
• Visit the crique
• Spend a day at L’Esquinade
• Drink rosé at the beach while eating moules
• Walk around Ramatuelle
• Walk around St. Tropez
• Have a café at Senequiers
• Eat Tarte Tropezian, preferably at Senequiers
• Eat ice cream from Barbarac
• Drink more rosé
• Drink a lot of things while partying in St. Tropez
• Sit at the view, admiring how “mountains in the sky” really are “next to mountains anyway” – and at sunset, how things truly turn to the “colors of the cowboy cliché”
• Sit at the view, trying to map out which of the lights across the night air belong to St. Rapheal, Nice, Frejus, St. Maxime and/or Antibes
• Drink rosé while looking at the stars on a “real Camarat night”
• Read a book while facing the Mediterranean
• Go sailing on the Mediterranean
• Eat in Ramatuelle (preferably at Aux Fils de la Pâte)
• Eat Thai at Nilargo, and drink Petal de Rose rosé
• Eat in Le Mol, and drink Souviette rosé
• Eat a croissant and/or pain au chocolat from “Bologna”
• Have breakfast at the Sube
• Shop at the market
• Shop at the Géant Casino
• Spend way too much money
• Spend time with family and friends
• Have a drink (or two) with Z & Alberte
• Hang laundry, towels and/or wet bathing suits on the clothes line to dry
• Kill lots of bugs (spider on the staircase, mosquito in your net, worm on the wall, ants in the kitchen, flies on the food, bees by the front doorway… but not the praying mantises – that’s bad luck)
• Play cards
• Play boule
• Play out scenarios in your mind that include you spending a great deal more time in Camarat and eliminate any need for you to return home
• Make it your mission to finish all the food and rosé before you do return home
• Try something new
