The Musee has an outdoor pavement reproduction of the Rosetta Stone. *Here, we experienced 'an incident' when an impatient, 40ish tourist gal (from Paris perhaps?) threw a hissy fit there after we took an extra minute to focus our cameras for this shot. Tres etrange. Even her 2 male companions seemed embarrassed by her animated and rude behaviour. What is French for 'Pick yer battles'?

Le marche historique. STOP PRESS: the best deli of this entire trip was on the corner here, conveniently next to a fine greengrocer called 'Cerda Jean Francois'. The deli is called 'Charcuterie de la Halle' (aka Figeac Frais) and is an absolute MUST for those who enjoy good food. Honorable Mention: 'Les Cordeliers' wine & sweets shop.

Note the remoteness of Belcastel. Tokyo tourists have naively asked the hotel to ring them up a taxi forthwith. Doesn't work that way here.
