Bruniquel

 

 

 

 

*A few weeks ago, for our first wedding anniversary,

we went to visit Bruniquel, a medieval village which is about 30km from us.

a nice lunch, a flea market, the visit of the castle, the craft shops...

*They made a famous french film here at the Bruniquel's castle called "Le Vieux Fusil"

with Philippe Noiret and Romy Schneider.

*During the visit, we could see an interesting exhibition about it.

*The pictures of Romy Schneider are fabulous by their simplicity and authenticity.

*She was a stunning lady.

 

 

 

  

*If you are thinking to come in the area, it's a nice place to visit :)

*Dans le jardin, il y a la table de ping-pong,

les raquettes et les balles vous attendent dans la boîte en-dessous ...

*In the garden, there is the tennis table,

the rackets and balls are waiting in the box underneath the table...

*Dans le jardin, il y a la balançoire

pour s'envoler depuis le grand arbre vers le lac....

to fly from the big tree to the lake...
