Capdenac Le Haut

Positioned on the border of the Lot and Aveyron departments Capdenac Le Haut holds a very special place in our family's memories.

The main square in this medieval village, dominated by le donjon.

The entrance to l'Église Saint Jean-Baptiste...

...and a peak inside.

A little further along there's a sign for the village's museum using its original name, Uxellodunym

And here's why the village is special to us: we spent several summers in this cottage

There's not a lot changed at all: the ancient fireplace...

...a decorative door knocker...

...the kitchen...

...and shelving in the kitchen, complete with a picture of Haworth!

There's the view I mentioned earlier, Tine joing the three youngsters.

What has the American Gothic painting got to do with our visit?

Impersonaters Nadine & Ryan in 2004...

...and Jade & Philippe in 2025!
