Interesting juxtapositions of roofs and tiles that caught my eye on one of the houses in Issigeac.
April 2014
Every Sunday in this part of Aquitaine, from March to October, there are brocantes (open air antique fairs) in different places each Sunday. This Sunday we visit two majot tourist destinations - Issigeac and Monpazier.

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.
A beautiful quaint French village, even the modern garage is consumed by the village atmosphere. The best time to visit this village when there are no events, a few hours of wandering is an event by itself.
