Market Day in Cahors!

Market Day in Cahors

We left our little cottage at 7 am, to catch the 7:47 am train from Gourdon to Cahors and the walk to the station was downhill all the way and it actually was only a 15-20 minute walk; but we couldn’t miss this train…because the next one on Saturdays was not until 2:43PM and the Market and lunch would be finished by that time.

An early arrival in Cahors at 8:12am, we walked to the Centre-Ville, the market vendors were busy setting up in anticipation of a busy day.

It was a cooler, cloudy day with the sun peaking thru once in awhile, and the clouds threatened rain all morning; but held off until late afternoon when we were snug in front of the fire at our friends in Prayssac.

Rain was welcomed as the gardens and lands are very dry.

We found a nice café, Le coin des Halles in the

Market Square

for Café Grand crèmes and croissants.

Wandered around the market, purchased some fresh vegetables and of course, fresh made pasta.

We met our friends at the appointed hour in front of the Church in the

Market Square

and after some errands in the town, we went to Cote Sud, a favorite restaurant for lunch; where we enjoyed a delicious meal and good company.
