We walked down to the market from Francine's new house, once again appreciating just how beautiful Figeac is. Each time we visit more buildings have been 'done up', but always lovingly in the local style..
There were quite a few people in town (it was market day after all) including a few ex-patriot Brits living in the area - wonder how the €/£ is affecting them....

The third photo shows how most town centre streets are labelled in dual language, French and Occitan. The photo of me was taken by the house where Tine had her piano lessons when she was young.

Changes are still afoot, as can be seen in the final photo. This is Place Champollion (the Figeac-born hieroglyphics code-breaker) which is currently a maze of pathways whilst a stepped feature is being created.

Hya all,
Gorgeous pics again Dave and Tine. It is lovely to see the old traditional properties preserved in Figeac. I look forward to the day when I can see them for myself.
(It's a little bit different to going back to visit Congleton eh!!!)
Love A&B xxx
PS. Post-op recovery satisfactory. B's getting better every day except for a low b/p. We are juggling with his medication at present time. xx
Salut!
Lovely to see picures of Figeac - quelle jolie ville! I remember it well.
& second the comment about Congleton!
Hope the 'man flu' is improving. There are those here with the same complaint!
Bisous, LCA.
