Magical Mystery Tour

After our delicious feast for lunch, our new friends gave us an amazing tour high above the city of Cahors. 



From the top of Mont St. Cyr looking over the railings ...we viewed the medieval city of Cahors, the capital of the Lot Department that is tucked in a nook in the bend of the Lot River and surrounded by water on three sides. The city is famous for its old streets and an unusual fortified Medieval Bridge.








On a different route back home, we discovered another surprise ... the restoration of an old brick factory (Briqueterie) and the development project of a community of Eco- friendly homes in Boissieres. 

                             



                                               


    




                

                                                  


The scenic drive through the country side continued as we headed back to the cottage.

A massive wisteria...must have been beautiful when it flowered.

Green, green pastures....
