Ian in the cathedral in Albi

 The statue couldn't make eye contact after seeing Ian's abs.

 Like most southern French cities, Albi has wonderful light.

Cathedral, Albi

 A magnificent structure inside and out. Said to be the largest brick structure in the world. Takes the light beautifully.

The Auberge du Presbytere opened last week.

 They started with a man, who could free climb on walls, wooing women women on three different buildings before being carried by eight of them and put on the fountain, where he scattered rose petals all about. Then wonderful dishes such a crudities and dips along with a red and a white wine punch. 

On the A9 coming back from Albi.

We had a lovely stay in Albi with its giant brick cathedral and Toulouse-Lautrec museum with over 50 of his works. Good food and a great hotel L'Alchimi
 

Looking down Rue de bourget to the Northeast

 

Tools, Rue de Bourget

They have been replacing the pipes for our street for the last few months. We have been here for the finish.  The street has gone from a mix of concrete and asphalt to a slippery layer of dirt and stones. It is now on the way back. Today they secured all of the pipes and filed in around them. They removed then recemented these large rocks in front of our housed are now filling in and grading the street. We have been told by our engineers neighbor, Jean-Pierre, that within a few weeks we'll have a brand spanking new Rue de Bourget!

My first day back in Provence. We went to the Lourmarin market and I opted for two produce cliches, more to come.
