Concentration

 

This is the most important region of France for tourism outside of Paris (which really doesn't represent France). One of the annual tourist attractions is a "mediaeval itinerance" (is that an English word?). This is a mediaeval fair which does the rounds of some of the mediaeval towns and villages for a weekend each. In 2011 the season ended up at Issigeac. The central theme was mediaeval games, putting children at its heart.

 

Rather than show the architecture of this beautiful village southwest of Bergerac, this set concentrates on people - candid shots of men, women, girls, boys, and even babies.

Issigeac petite pause

Eglise Saint Felicien, Issigeac. Built at the beginning of the 16th century, this church is a good example of late Gothic architecture. A belfry porch, supported by large buttresses, contains a doorway with a tympanum decorated with twisted covings.

Shopping way back into history, they're still open for business but skipped the use of modern signs.

Ail Rose de Lautrec - France's finest garlic with pink cloves and white skin on the exterior for sale at the market of Issigeac. It is grown in the medieval town of Lautrec in the Tarn region. According to an old tale, a traveller with no money stopped in Lautrec in order to eat, but as he had no money, he paid with pink cloves of garlic instead.

.

This is just one of the very nice culinary details and about taste in France. It's how they add that special "French color" to food. Most of the French don't sell or buy a bulb but a whole string, the photo might show you why.
