Cordes su Ciel

This morning we drove out north-west of Albi for about 20 kms to a very pretty medieval town called Cordes su Ciel (Cordes in the sky). This medieval town was very protected and ever so steep to walk up to. As it was Monday morning a lot of the shops were closed so it made it better to avoid tourists. It was so authentic having several doors to the city, a market hall which was set up for trade and is completely preserved. Clearly the locals who live here have to be prepared to live with antiquated conditions. We enjoyed a coffee and shared a small crepe. The streets were very cobbled and somewhat difficult to walk on but it was a lovely morning and we returned easily to have our lunch at home. We are enjoying this for a change! A field of poppies along the way was really pretty.
After lunch and a little rest I managed to get my nails done thank goodness as Tatiana couldn't speak English and my French was rudimentary.Read more
