Montcabrier

There is a quaint little village ensconced in forest on top of a hill near the Lot.

Its stone buildings, some going back to the 13th century, are cream and gold.

Flower boxes, climbing roses and pretty shrubs add contrasting colours.

I was walking around the streets, when, coming towards me, some people were speaking English.

To their greeting of "Bonjour", I said, "Hello".

An older man in the group said, "Gidday"

I replied, "Gidday"

He was from Adelaide.
