Sunday on the Town

So, today, we went out to eat and we went to an artisan "enclave". I cannot remember the name of the restaurant and at the moment, but we all piled in the car and drove downtown somewhere. We parked, as usual here, parallel on a narrow street and up on the sidewalk (well, at least halfway). The restaurant had outside dining which works best when dining with three little boys. The food was delicious and it came complete with "le chat" (the cat).

After lunch we drove to an area of town where local artists/craftsmen live and work. This is in the town of  Salle, which is actually across the river (the Boo Reigreig). We were able to wander through their shops and see some of them at work and view their wares.

Ervery size and shape pot you can imagine!

We watched several potters at work. This guy was cutting out big chunks of clay from one mound, then adding to a second mound and "working" it with his feet. This has got to be the ultimate Pilates exercise replacement!

The kiln was either a really short container or one that had been cut down.

Metal work

.... and furniture.
