SOLVITUR AMBULANDE. Hikers on the 'Via Podiensis' pilgrimage walk come along this Cele Valley. Locals call them 'escargots' because of their backpacks.

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.

Fifty fotos of Figeac. Enjoy. *We will next show a separate set of images of our rural Roussilhe rental 'Les Deux Sources'. It was on the outskirts. We promised the owner lady a shout-out.

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.

I pity the foolish foodie that comes to Belcastel and chooses not to dine @ Vieux du Pont restaurant. Ce n'est-pas possible. Stay a couple nights, as we did, at their hotel across the bridge. This is your French food fantasy, mes amis. Incroyable! Satisfaction guaranteed.
