Wednesday 16th July- A visit to Cajac



Another bright sunny morning and we headed off to Cajac which is about 8 miles away. Jennifer drove and Noel took some photos from the car.

The old town of Cajac we have shopped in before but never did a walk around. Its quite an interesting place with a few hidden squares with restaurants etc. The Information bureau appears to have been an old chapel and has been very tastefully converted in to its current role.

The town was quite busy with people having lunch. We walked down to the river to take some photographs. Many of these old French towns have small alleyways with interesting buildings and perhaps I tend to focus too much on these for my photos but I hope they look good and give a good view of the place.

We walked across the bridge to look at the camp site across there, its was in need of some grass cutting but had no security at all and could make you feel nervous leaving expensive caravans etc on site.

In the middle of town is a very nice public swimming pool which was quite busy with the local children and it is also open to tourists at about 30% more per ticket.

We headed back to Larnagol and spent the rest of the afternoon doing some exhausting reading under the trees whilst trying to decide what to have for dinner. The sun was still very warm at 7pm and so we plan to have our dinner outside and watch the world go by.

Tomorrow we will probably go in the direct of Cahors to some of the lovely villages by the River Lot and take some more photos.
