Hi,
There are a couple of possibilities for the wanderers you describe:
1. Pilgrims on there way to or from Compostela. Often with a cockle shell somewhere on their kit.
2. Randonneurs. France is criss-crossed with randonneuring paths, the route des Grandes Randonnés, which are marked on maps with a dotted line and the notation G.R. X, with X being a number. There are legions of randonneurs every summer, and this man in your photo looks typical. His shoes and leather bag are too good for the third type:
3. Vagrants looking for work, asylum seekers, etc. Usually very scruffy and often begging for coins.
Check your map for an indication of a G.R. That might be the answer given that you are seeing a caricature of a randonneur in a local establishment.
Cheers,
Keith

We’ve been in Narbonne a couple of times and it’s always windy!

It sure is great when you have a day off when the weather is bad!

What a challenging day! I can’t believe the farmer would charge you such an outrageous amount. I’m glad you were finally able to find a place to eat.

I love Picon beer! I didn’t realize it added so much to the alcohol content; it’s the flavour!

I agree with you on the signage. Ew.
