...with a visit to Dinan, where we used to go for lunch, or coffee and pastries, about once a fortnight :-)
It was so nice to be here again...
...the last time was in 2004 just before we moved back to Wales.
Stayed with friends (near Loudeac) for a few days before moving off south....
...a loooooooooooooong way south!
A nights stopover at Agen let us arrive fairly refreshed in Mirepoix in time for lunch the next day :-)
I loved it here when we last visited in 2002...
...and it's taken this long to come back!
The buildings around the central square are 12th century...
...and a gargoyle fanatic like me is just in heaven!
The Maison des Consuls (with cafe underneath) is covered in them.
We pitched the tent at the campsite just outside town, so we could wander in in the evening and watch the world go by....
...whilst enjoying cake and Orangina at our favourite cafe/patisserie.
The 15th century church had some beautiful painted walls...
...in gorgeous colours.
(What can I do with THOSE then?)
Also some delightful mosaic floors...
I was extremely happy already...
...and that was just the first day!!! :-)))))
...lots more to come.......
