DIMANCHE
Sunday Walk Number One
Ginko tree starting to bloom.
Tulips bring color to one of Sarlat's roundabouts (Note in background: laundry hanging out in the rain). 
Sarlat's Rotary Club sponsored a used book sale.
Some regional works- a book about la truffe and many by Fénelon, a 17th century writer and theologian born in a tiny commune outside of Sarlat.

Sunday Walk Number Two
Rue Fénelon runs along the east side of city hall. The graffiti has been powerwashed off this wall. 
A painting done on a piece of cardboard hangs from an air vent.
Along Rue Jean-Baptiste Delpeyrat the city is experimenting with the idea of making it a one-way street for reasons of traffic flow and pedestrian security.
Public statement by the City of Sarlat explaining the changes
 
The wording is upside down in order to properly demonstrate the direction of traffic.
I have passed this automatic VHS and DVD distributor along avenue du Général Leclerc many of times. Cobwebs and the mention of VHS is evidence it hasn't been touched in quite a while.
