Let them eat Mouna
Easter has brought the crowds. Lots of Italians, many of them, I suspect, with second homes here. Another exotic invasion, to be seen in the windows of the patisseries, is Mouna cake, a sort of sugared brioche. Apparently this was a cake from Oran, originally for Spanish exiles, which then spread throughout the European population of North Africa, and came to this part of France with the Pieds Noirs. As far as I can tell, it is only eaten at Easter.
