More aims for trips postponed until next time....so no trip to Le Don du Fel...or to Puy de Dôme.... C'est dommage, Dominique 😟
...but next time....
So today we went to Saint Léonard de Noblat, about 15km north of Limoges...not to see any porcelain, but to see the home town of Raymond Poulidor, a hero of both ours and Pirate ( who also had a similar rural upbringing and resembled him too!)
You could spend a week around there with a camera!!
Doors....
Philosophy
Time for café allongé
Our hero...
Des Miaulétous are the inhabitants of the town... supposedly called after the cries of the birds in the church bell tower!
And of course...
Unfortunately closed...I think that maintenance was being done...but next time.....
What a treat to be taken along on your pilgrimage to your hero's home town! It looks like a charming place!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness … I'm in love with doors. (That is a strangely out of place velodrome - modernity hit the ancient town.)
ReplyDeleteIt is sadly quite a way out of town..with a separate municipal gymnasium too...not so accessible for youngsters and those not so well off
DeleteSuperbe!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very beautiful town, and I really love those doors.
What a lovely tour. Doors have always interested me.....along with gates.
ReplyDeleteYour day trips are lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to share interests and enjoy the travels.
Thank you. I love doors…..
ReplyDeleteRick would just love that -- how cool to visit Polidor's town! He'd go nuts at the velodrome too!
ReplyDeleteOh oui la prochaine fois !
ReplyDeleteBien sûr !
