Exploring Some Beautiful Villages - Lauzerte

Lauzerte, just like Pujols, is a hilltop village, so we got a great view of it well before we arrived in the town.

It was now after midday so we decided no matter what we would find a place to eat for lunch.

Lauzerte is another of these medieval hilltop French villages, and you can see similarities between all of them, especially the way the main squares are designed and built.

However, Lauzerte has a modern twist in one corner of the square...look carefully at the photo below.....the floor of the square has been lifted as if someone has been looking under it (in front of the green doors).

The nice thing about Lauzerte was that it was lunch time, so there were a few people around sitting down having something to eat, so it wasn't deserted!

Lovely Buildings and Lanes
So Much Attractive History

We picked a place for lunch that was serving like French Tapas....they advertised "Small Plates" at just a couple of Euros each. So we had a few plates, and some local white wine all for the princely sum of just 15 eauros, what a tasty bargain that was.

Lunch

After lunch we explored more of the village.

Time to head off again, this time to the village of Auvillar.
