Day out.....with many photos

{now this is what I call a gate....}


Yesterday we visited a nearby medieval village called Monpazier and I thought that I would share some photos with you....

These are in the order that I snapped them which in typical moi fashion is random.


So many gorgeous geranniums, I adore them as you all know...



A blackboard telling you what the shop is selling, as you know this region is famous for producing some of the best French products......

I cannot imagine living in a house that did not have shutters or as the French call them volets...

As it was Bastille Day yesterday in France, many flags were flying.....


Love the creeper on this building, such a gorgeous contrast against the ancien stone....




Speaking of stone, how about this window - oh so fabulous, this is one window that I would enjoy cleaning!

There were lots of different flags flying, this one caught my eye....

Fresh produce anyone?



Please Mr FF can we come and live here......

Hope that the shield comes with the house....



Another gorgeous stone house with lovely sky blue shutters....


Of course you must buy a bottle of wine or two or three to take home with you....


All this sightseeing is making me thirsty, a perfect place to have a cafe or a nice cold glass of perrier....

And if you need a shopping bag to put all your purchases in, here is a lovely selection.....

Hope you enjoyed our day out, I am now going to put out my blackboard and open my wee showroom as it is marche jour here today in our village.

A demain mes amis,

  17. Fabulous images LeeAnn! I'm with you on that blue gate. Glad you enjoyed Bastille Day. The big parade here in Paris was a total rain-put, but the fireworks went off perfectly.
    Bon soir,
