Return to Figeac

We sometimes feel a bit blasé (what's that in French?) about Figeac as we know it so well, but I would wholeheartedly recommend a visit if you're in the Lot area of France

This 13th Century building was once a mint and now houses the tourist office
The Saturday market is always busy
One of our favourite local dishes: aligot, made from mashed potato and aligot cheese. Light it isn't!


Away from the bustle of the market you can get lost in the medieval streets 
Inlaws Loulou & Sylvie live within walking distance of the town

Sylvie showing off her very own motorbike. All she needs now is to pass the test.
Loulou & Tine about to go for a spin!
This view greeted us on Sunday morning...
...and a traditional morning coffee at 'le Champo'
Later on niece Caroline came for lunch...
...along with boyfriend Jo
Tine taught Loulou the rules of Mülkky...
...whilst I resisted my craft beer gift.
