Limoges and the Rain
... we see something interesting - this we did when saw this classic historic bridge. The town was Pierre Buffiere and was originally the postal stop between Toulouse and Paris. Significantly in its history it hosted Pope on the 28th January although the year appears to be in question with the inscription on the wall of the hotel where he stayed saying 1814 and the plaque on the statue saying 1816. I'm picking one of them is right. Stopping for lunch needs to be timed as ...

... into train spotting. Had a fabulous lunch here (again), Roger ended up with something he wasn't expecting but was pretty good nonetheless. We are off now (it's 3 in the arvo) to a town called Gramat where we're hoping to find a supermarket or similar.
