Another reason for our visit to Figeac was to see nephew Rémi at le Sphinx, the bar he has been managing since they were allowed to reopen in early summer.
Why le Sphinx? Let's go back to my previous post explaining that one of Figeac's sons (Jean-François Champollion) was an important Egyptologist. I'm sure Loulou, Sylvie & Tine are discussing it above!
Not much reference to Egypt here, but plenty to eat & drink
In the afternoon and evening customers can spread out under 'la halle', the under-cover marketplace

An early evening view of the square. The top floors of these buildings were once used to dry tobacco leaves grown locally.
Competition with yet another Egyptian reference

Quite a few bottles of white were consumed this lunchtime...
...and the market was cleared in the meantime!
Dominique & Sylvie (with your faithful blogger and Rémi in the shot too)
I'm trying out a video again. The white wine obviously went to Sylvie & Tine's dancing feet!
