9 juin 2011 - Expensive Cheeseburger

JEUDI

At the restaurant, Au Bureau, a double cheeseburger and a drink costs 18,90€. In Sarlat, you can easily find a three-course dinner for 15€, but maybe USA is a big selling point.

MERCREDI

Camera crew visiting Sarlat's Wednesday market- I am assuming it is for a travel show.

 Tourist groups everywhere: French tour group. American tour group.

*nationality based off language and accent of the guide and people in the group.

I visit the Lou Cocal Biscuit Factory store with the family I am with on Wednesdays.

Sarlat is moving up in the world with newly paved sidewalks along Avenue de la Dordogne.

A drippy day. Rain coming off a roof that I pass along Avenue du Lot.

It is an overcast day, but there is still beauty around every corner.

5 juin 2011 - Sunday in Sarlat

DIMANCHE

This is the first time in almost nine months that the door to Laterne des Mortes located behind the cathedral.

Traditions du Périgord is one of the many shops selling foie gras, walnuts, etc..

Sonnez S.V.P. chien méchant. Ring [the door bell] please, mean dog.

Whimsical French decor.

4 juin 2011 - Temniac

SAMEDI

I didn't wander long through the market; it was the most crowded I have ever seen it. The flocks of people is probably due to the long week for Ascension and the approaching of summer.

 Thus I headed for the hills surrounding Sarlat and walked to the neighborhood of Temniac.

Maypole celebrating newlyweds. Classic architecture.

I didn't find the marked walking path until I reached Temniac, mais ce n'est pas grave.

I walk into Église de Notre-Dame de Temniac and find wedding programs on the pews.

The wedding was not for several hours, but the church as empty with everything ready for the ceremony.

École de Temniac

It is amazing how easy it is to arrive in the country.

Some toads in the ditch.

3 juin 2011 - Toulouse to Sarlat via Agen

VENDREDI

Bus to the airport.

MERCI DE PATIENTER DERRIERE CETTE LIGNE (thanks for waiting behind this line).

Airbus facilities.

After walking most of the way back to Toulouse, I take the metro to ensure I make to the train station in time.

Faute (wrong). Pas Faute (not wrong). Priorité aux passengers qui sortent. (Priority to passengers getting off).

While waiting for the train in Toulouse, I notice a McDonald's balloon in a trashcan.

I get off the train in Agen (pop. 33,000), so I can tour the city a little before returning to Sarlat.

Roadwork down the middle of Agen's main drag. 

Aqueduct carrying the Canal de Garonne over the Garonne River.

Train: Agen to Le Buisson. Bus: Le Buisson to Sarlat.

Sun beginning to set in Sarlat.
