Sunday we drove to St. Cyprien in the Dordogne to visit what used to be a lively and interesting market. It was a sunny and warm day, perfect for walking through the market and sitting at a cafe in the sun for a coffee. We set out early as it is about 1 1/2 hour drive from the house. The roads were empty, a pleasant difference from a summer excursion to the Dordogne. The market had changed considerably in the last 20 plus years but we still got wonderful artisanal goat cheeses.
On the way home we passed this lovely church with these sculpted trees. We call this distinctive way trees are trimmed here the "French bob". The play of the sun on the branches which created shadows of the branches on the ground was beautiful. We had a nice lunch in a restaurant that specialized in regional cuisine. All in all a good day out.
