France Travel Journal. Day 17 (Thurs., June 16) - Estaing


Another overcast and threatening day,so we jumped in the car and drove to:

St.Euluie -- one of the official 'most beautiful villages in France'.  It was.
St.Genie -- It wasn't. Pleasant enough, but nothing particularly interesting.
Lagouile -- Of the knives fame.  I was prepared to purchase a set, but what was available in the many shops were crafts/arts knives. Local craftsmen purchase the plade from the eponymous factory, and then add handles. They were beautiful, but very expensive: 140 Euro's per knife was not unusual.

French music. I continue to be distracted by the need to convert a flac file to mp3, and so research has been slight. I hope to catch up again in Toulouse.
