Back to Figeac

We took Caro back to Figeac on Friday after a lovely week with her at Maison Clegg. Didn't she do well with the blog?
.
It was great to see everyone in Figeac but Tine, Francine & Loulou had the unenviable task of sorting out the house as it is now up for sale. Fingers crossed that it will sell quickly so that it's a worry out of the way.
.
We found everyone in good form. On Saturday we walked from Francine's down into Figeac to visit the market (always a very colourful sight). The first photo shows the main market place where people sell their own produce - could be us soon! Afterwards Francine invited us to lunch in town then we caught the free shuttle back (well it was hot and it's a steep climb!)
.
The second photo shows le Pont Gambetta over the River Célé. Loulou & Co live not far from this bridge. The donkeys are especially for Nad - they're in the field next to Francine's and you can hear them quite clearly!
.
The last two photos were taken yesterday before setting off back for La Tranche. Loulou cooked us a couple of HUGE pork steaks on the BBQ. It won't be long before we're barbecuing together again when they come for their Summer stay in La Tranche.
.
It's a 5 & 1/2 hour journey from Figeac to La Tranche but our new friends Hugh & Jeanne kindly invited us to a lovely meal at their caravan. They're on the campsite all season and are regulars at Matt's Happy Hour - yes!!!! We were running very late, and it was pouring down on our arrival so we parked up in front of the campsite with a car laden with fridge, lawn-mower and many other items from the house in Figeac. We must have looked like the Beverley Hillbillies!
