3ème étape: ISSIGEAC!

Promenade avec MONSIEUR Jean Manoeuvre, une merveilleuse visite!!!

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.

Happened upon this little town in full-on summer festival mode. Cider was flowing; shame to be on the bike...

Les gagnants du quizz musical, Bernard et Valérie, visiblement contents d'avoir gagné eux-aussi un week-end en Mini!!!!

A really interesting building down one of the alleyways in Issigeac ... not sure they would get away with that repair in England.
