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 ...

... joke is they're all at the bottom of the well. A reference to the French Résistance activities, apparently.) I've been offered three properties at knock-down price and had one speculative offer for the van. It was a strange sight to see upwards of 50 Europeans and dogs ambling through a beautiful French town, St Antonin Noble Val - and I have mixed views! The walk ...
