Browsing on Pinterest I came across a picture of a village which is said to be one of the most beautiful in France, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie
At the same time my thoughts went out to our last holiday this summer and our visit to this lovely village.
Not without some melancholy because after many years thinking during every holiday it would be the last one in the company of our boys, I really think this has been the last one. At least for the next few years anyway....
Even though I will miss them terribly it's a good thing.... their lives moves on.
Perhaps it's that time of the year, how do they call it.... autumn blues? But at this moment I can yearn for the time they were three little men, all cosy in their pyjamas on the couch watching their favourite program on the television before bedtime.
I know it seems a bit odd to share this holiday pictures with you while next week I'm going to buy my Christmas tree. On the other hand, it makes me wonder how this enchanting village will look at Christmas time. Maybe the last picture may somewhat reflects the possible atmosphere.
Sometimes I use my blog as a diary, which gives me the opportunity to go back in time and capture it.
Hope you will join me on my little trip down memory lane....
This picture shows very well how small the village is ....
And it's smallest house ....
The village is perched on a cliff overlooking a meander of the Lot and is a masterpiece
of medieval architecture ....
Surveyed by the fortified church with at it's foot The Rignault museum
The half-timbered houses with their sloping brown-tiled roofs are a
harmonious sight lining the picturesque alleyways ....
Enclosed by houses, the little cemetery ....
We ended the day in the lovely restaurant La Tonnelle
and dined under the grape vines ....
And enjoyed the local specialities ....
Not so little anymore, my pride and joy ....
A last view before we left for our holiday home ....
Love the warm glow of this picture .... maybe a tiny bit Christmassy ;-)
This weekend I'm going with my sisters on a two days trip and will also visit a Christmas market. So maybe some "real" Christmas in my next post.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
