Dreaming of France Meme ---Further than Paris but still France ..

My blogger friend Paulita from the blog

An Accidental Blog is doing a weekly meme

and I have decided to try it too!!

Back in August 2010

I took a trip to the Lot Valley,

to stay with a lady |I met through blogging.

I took the train from Paris to Cahors

passing through some lovely places.

After arriving in Cahors, we took the bus to Cadrieu.

Photos taken from the bus

On the bus, along side the Lot River.

Enjoy !!!

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...

More from Cahors....

As with most French towns,

they are made for strolling

around, trying to take it all in.

Enjoy !!

.................to be continued!!

We are off to the market .. Cahors Market ...

Cahors is the capital of the Lot department in

South Western France. And about One and half hours

from Cadrieu , where I was staying.

There are markets all over France as

we know, and they all have a their own

specialities. 

But I never could of imagined this market

with the Cathedral looming over it ,

in all its glory.

Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Cahors

The market was buzzing!! 

It is amazing that they have this market

twice a week, .. so many fantastic choices,

 where do you start??

I didn't get a chance to see more of Cahors,

but what I did see, I was very pleased

with, and I would definitely go back.

I do have more photos of Cahors and the

Cathedral to post ..
