slow update


The much-loved Café de la Gare, closed for two seasons, cannot be re-opened while the owners conduct legal shenanigans against the disappeared lease-holders.
So they have built another on the pétanque court opposite, in front of Le Cantou, and called it L'Orygin'l

very witty -

Rue General Ferrier still closed off on account of they dug it up to change the lead pipes and then wandered off...


The Museum of Dinosaurs, Tillings special claim to fame, has been re-tarted again and very good it is too. Old mates Mike and Jo were here this weekend with their three boys, Callum, Ruben and Frank -a great excuse to go - here they are measured against the femur of a T Rex


They have a large animated T Rex there that roars and gave me bad dreams.
Preferred these little fellows...



The place was packed on account of the Tour de France slowing the local traffic. It was a real buzz - highly recommended.
