France: Village 'La Popie"
This pretty little village "La Popie" is laying 'on the wine route' on top of a small mountain , at east from the -bigger- city CAHOR. On the day we visited this village it was raining 'cats & dogs' (of course its summer ehhhrr!!) So sorry if the pictures are looking a bit sad, however this really village is worth a full day visit. Its filled with pretty little shops in the even little streets with narrow lanes.....and there are many, many very cosy real French restaurants. We sat down in one of them for a quick lunch, as a very thin "crepe" pancake (made from flour and water) with honey or fluid (real melted!) chocolate on top. My cappuccino was of course without "chantilly" (or whipped cream) with an extra little can of hot milk on the side, of course some bitter chocolate beans were served aside on a small bowl.
Dutch: Frankrijk "La Popie".
Dit kleine & pittoresk stadje ligt op een kleine heuvel, met zijn vele klein huisjes, winkeltjes en ontelbaar veel gezellige restaurantjes, werkelijk een plaatje (!!!) om te bezoeken. Het stadje ligt ten oosten van de wat grotere stad CAHOR. Helaas zijn de foto's van dit stadje wat somber, omdat het die dag weer eens flink regende , sorry!!!! Wij hebben er een typisch Frans lunchgerecht genomen; de dunne Crepe/pannekoek (gemaakt van beslag aangemaakt met water), daarop een keuze uit honing of huisgemaakte warme chocoladesaus. Mijn cappuccino was uiteraard zonder chantilly/slagroom, en ik kreeg er nog een apart kannetje warme melk naast geserveerd. Als toegift een schaaltje met heerlijke bittere chocolade bonen..

Beautiful looks like from the movie Chocolat, the food too
Very nice JoAnn. I think the rain adds to the atmosphere of this quaint town.
JoAnn,this really gives a sense
of times gone by for me.
The village looks to have existed for centuries.
Hello JoAnn,
I am so glad that you visited my blog and that you invited me to visit yours. I spent an hour or so this morning looking at your beautiful photos and reading your very interesting captions. I love the way you communicate, it reminds me so much of my beloved friend Carlin, a beautiful, charming, super funny and loving Dutch girl. Even your lovely IOS brings to mind Carlin's adorable Hobbes, a Welsh Springer Spaniel.
You've made my day. Thank you!
I've linked your blog to mine and it is in my blog reader as well.
Very best regards!
Amrita,
