A piece of foam on the sidewalk to the liking of a boot.
I am not sure what this is, it might be a bird house.
The Occitan symbol spray painted in Place de la Grande Rigaudie. Eighty years ago Occitan was spoken by everyone in Sarlat- French was taught in schools, because Occitan was spoken at home. One of the schools I teach at, École Jules Ferry, has a bilingual class that is taught in both French and Occitan. Occitan culture is wrapped up in the culture of Périgord.
