Although Vicki and I had started our road trip off yesterday morning with plans to go to Calvignac and wander around in that beautiful place we'd captured from the distance the day before, it was not to be. Oh, we got there, but the mist and a huge cloud had settled on that part of the valley making impossible to see the village or even the side of the road. It cleared as we went higher. Then, we'd seen a sign for Limogne as we were climbing up and up and I remembered that there is a Sunday Morning Market there.
Et, voila!
It's a small market, and a fun thing to do on a Sunday since it is close to Cadrieu. I've gone with friends many times in the past. Some of you may even have joined us!
After our wander through the market and some hot-spiced wine,we stopped in at the Tourist Office.
There was a Lotoise scene in a room in the back, and when I asked about it we discovered that it was part of the "free" museum upstairs.
The museum honored life in the valley at the turn of the 19th century. We went on up, where I discovered LOTS of the same kind of old farm equipment that had come with the purchase of my barn.
We then pit-stopped outside of Chateau Cenevieres to see what their hours were to return on another day.
From there, we wound our way back toward Cajarc and took some shots of home from Saujac before we headed up to the Belgian Cross and its magnificent views.
Vicki had packed a nice picnic lunch for us, so Vicki, Lucie and I also had our lunch up there.
On the way home to regroup, we found a corral of donkeys and had to stop for photos!
Home by 2pm on a Sunday, with thoughts of continuing on to a couple other spots...we ended up cozy by the fire with a glass of wine (or two or three), nibbles interesting conversation and happy to just be planted for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
What a nice way to spend your Sunday!
Happy Monday!
