It was great to slow down last night and start our time with Joan & John having a glass of wine or 2 and a meal, in their very comfortable house here in Montreal. We’ve started relaxing. At 8 pm last night, it was still sunny with a bright blue sky.
We drove into Agen this morning for some house stuff and found a little creperie for lunch. On the way back, we detoured via some small villages and stopped at Larressingle, built in the 13th century as a residence and fortress for the Abbott of Condom and housing for the villagers. When it was realised that the fortress was not needed for defence, the Abbott moved to a new chateau, taking the roof beams and letting the old building fall into disrepair.
