More Medieval Towns
Today we visited more medieval towns, all with some variation or notable characteristic. Figeac was our first stop which has its origins back in the 9th century but most development occurred during the Middle Ages. We saw some amazing houses with timber framed construction with open lofts of the 15/16th century, twin arched windows and carved decoration, an incredible Renaissance staircase which seems to be suspended in mid air, churches as well as Place des Ecritures which is a tribute ...
Limoges and the Rain
... Camille offs to go and settle the bill and returns with a 25 euro reduction - this girl knows how to barter. The Limousin area is also home to the city of Limoges famous in France for its quality porcelain production (there is a museum to celebrate such) and is about 30k from where we stayed.

A little bit closer to home.......

The one we are at now has a rather fancy outdoor eating area with elaborate terraced gardens. There is no fast food giant anywhere near here. Love it. Off now to make a start on the packing, had to get another bag today ..... An update: have since googled the gremlin and ...
A lazy day
... think we might even go back into Paris proper for a few hours as we don't fly out til Sunday morning. We're booked at the airport Hilton for Saturday night so it should all work out well. Roger has booked a Chateaux for us to stay in, looks pretty good on the website! Back from lunch now and it was just a bit like spending a few hours with Cybil Fawlty - no other the similarities though! When we walked in we were seated at ...
