Albi and Albigensians
... Albigensian. We spent a fascinating couple of hours following Toulouse-Lautrec's career and life and admiring his work.
Another museum devoted to a noted Albigensian was that of La Perouse, the French explorer who arrived in Botany Bay a few days after Captain Phillip in 1788. He sailed extensively in four major sea voyages, around the Pacific, the North Atlantic, around Japan and eventually disappearing near the island of Vonoko near ...

Wed 5 Sept Pagès
Wednesday is walkies for the local expat community. Dogs and pensioners abound; a motley collection of Brits, Dutch, Belgians and oddly French people with nothing better to do than stroll along the banks of the Aveyron discussing the collapse in the housing market, the price of diesel and who's playing who at tennis next week.
