Even more from Cahors .........



I am sure they had every herb and spice
you could think of, and many many more!
And a splendid variety of teas too.



LEON GAMBETTA (1838-1882), French statesman,
was born in Cahors on the 2nd of April 1838.


Yes
this really is a donkey with them!!
I thought I was seeing
things at first...

  6. What a gorgeous market! The sight of all those fabulous veggies and fruits (peaches!! I LOVE peaches!!) is making me hungry :-)

    Did you buy anything? The tea stand looked really tempting.

    Cahors looks lovely! I'm going to look up its location right now to see how far it is from us :-)

  9. How fun! I want to go shopping with you. So colorful--much better than a shopping mall or a High street.
