This is central Vindelle, the little town outside of Angoulême where we rented a gîte (vacation rental house) for a week in October. As I mentioned earlier, the tiny bourg of about a thousand people is little more than an intersection. Besides the town hall, there is a café/restaurant that also serves as newsstand and cigarette shop. It also provides postal services.
Dawn in downtown Vindelle.
I took this picture on one of my early morning walks with Tasha, before things opened up for the day. During the day, the sidewalk outside the cafë is set up with a few tables and umbrellas for shade. The times we passed by or through, there were always people sitting outside eating, drinking, and/or reading the news.
Definitely not what Petula Clark sang about. But I love these little bergs.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very nice way to compliment this town! I must remember that one. Thanks Mitchell - I smiled when I read your comment.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks lovely
ReplyDeleteThis week I started French lessons. I plan to read your blog with more eye on the French to pick up some good words.
Cool!
