Cahors Southwest France
Cahors is located about 1 1/2 hours north of Toulouse France by train. It is wedged inside a small peninsula in a loop in the River Lot. The 14thC Pont Valentre, a UNESCO heritage site and fortified bridge is the major attraction for visitors. However, there is so much more to see. Stroll the medieval streets and visit the many artisan shops. See the famous cap of Christ at Saint-Etienne Cathedral or just enjoy your surroundings while sipping on the Internationally famous Cahors wine with some appetizers using the local cheeses, foie gras and truffles.

MONTAUBAN / MONTALBAN. A walking tour around the city / Un paseo por la ciudad
MONTAUBAN (Occitan: MONTALBAN) is a commune in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region in southern France. It is the capital of the department and lies 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Toulouse. Montauban is the most populated town in Tarn-et-Garonne, and the sixth most populated of Occitanie.
The town has been classified “Ville d’art et d’histoire” (City of art and history) since 2015.
The town, built mainly of a reddish brick, stands on the right bank of the Tarn at its confluence with the Tescou.
Montauban is the second oldest (after Mont-de-Marsan) of the bastides of southern France. Its foundation dates from 1144 when Count Alphonse Jourdain of Toulouse, granted it a liberal charter. The inhabitants were drawn chiefly from Montauriol, a village which had grown up around the neighbouring monastery of St Théodard.
In the 13th century the town suffered much from the ravages of the Albigensian war and from the Inquisition, but by 1317 it had recovered sufficiently to be chosen by John XXII as the head of a diocese of which the basilica of St Théodard became the cathedral.
In 1360, under the Treaty of Brétigny, it was ceded to the English; they were expelled by the inhabitants in 1414. In 1560 the bishops and magistrates embraced Protestantism, expelled the monks, and demolished the cathedral. Ten years later it became one of the four Huguenot strongholds under the Peace of Saint-Germain, and formed a small independent republic. It was the headquarters of the Huguenot rebellion of 1621, and successfully withstood an 86-day siege by Louis XIII. It did not submit to royal authority until after the fall of La Rochelle in 1629, when its fortifications were destroyed by Cardinal Richelieu. The Protestants again suffered persecution after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.
In the 17th century, the King of France revoked “l’Édit de Nantes”. Montauban was considered as an intellectual city. Because Montauban was a Protestant town, it started to resist and hold its position against the royal power and it refused to give allegiance to the Catholic King. To scare off the King’s opponents and speed up the end of the siege, 400 cannonballs were fired, but Montauban resisted and the royal army was vanquished. Saint Jacques church is still marked by the cannonballs, and every year in September, the city celebrates “les 400 coups” (the 400 shots), which has become a common phrase in French.
During World War II, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa was briefly hidden in a secret vault behind a wine cellar at Montauban.

Riding is another wonderful way of discovering the area and there are three riding stables that can arrange accompanied treks. Along the river are stretches where you can water-ski and various places where you can hire canoes. Castelnaud (15 minutes) has an excellent championship 18-hole golf course with a driving range, putting green, pro shop and a restaurant. Tombeboeuf has a 9-hole golf course with a practice area and a pro shop. Both golf courses have clubs, trolleys and buggies for hire.
Park Walibi, a big amusement park near Agen, is always fun for children. So is the Magic Forest in Clairac, where gnomes and animals will help them discover a magical world. Clairac also has a wonderful model train museum. The Magique Chaudron is an angora goat farm where you can buy colourful angora sweaters and the children can help to bottle feed the kids at certain times of the year, and even help with the milking and cheese making.
The Lot-et-Garonne is an area of hills and valleys with a patchwork of fruit orchard market garden farms and fields of summer corn and sunflowers dotted with ancient hilltop villages. Villeneuve-sur-Lot was founded in 1253 and the Pont Vieux, the towns main bridge across the river, dates from about that time and is still used today. Villeneuve was also a major stopping place along the old pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
Poujols stands on a hilltop, 2 kms southwest of Villeneuve, and a pleasant walk from the Porte de Pujols. The pretty, medieval village attracts many antique lovers and has a number of shops and art galleries in its lovely, restored half-timbered houses. There are two very good restaurants in the village and a Michelin starred restaurant across the valley from the village.
Penne dAgenais is 8 kms upriver from Villeneuve and another picturesque, hilltop village with a warren of tiny, steep lanes, lined with immaculately tidy stone and brick houses. Alphonse de Poitiers, the indefatigable brother of King Louis IX, founded Monflanquin, a beautifully preserved hilltop bastide and one of the finest examples of its kind, in 1256. Villereal is an unspoiled bastide town near the River Dropt, 13 kms north of Monflanquin. The Place de la Halle, the large, main central square, has a fine 14th century timbered covered market, overlooked by an impressive, twin-towered 13th century church.
The vineyards of Buzet, Duras and Bergerac are all within an hours drive. The Bordeaux vineyards, including Saint Emilion (a must) and Cahors are about 90 minutes.

Casteljaloux : Lac de Clarens
Le panoramearth est pris du bord du Lac de Clarens à Casteljaloux, rive ouest, au sud du lac. Dès le début de la vidéo, on voit le lac sur toute sa longueur, vers le nord. Nous sommes sur une jolie petite plage qui accueille les baigneurs à la bonne saison. A partir de 1 minute de la vidéo, on voit la pinède derrière et, au-delà, on devine une route, celle qui part au sud de Casteljaloux pour rejoindre Mont-de-Marsan (la D933). A 1 minute 13 secondes, la petite cabine sous un arbre est un WC public. La vidéo se termine par une fioriture, avec zoom sur la grande plage au nord du lac et le restaurant sur pilotis qui y est implanté. En arrière, on distingue quelques-uns des chalets en location pour les vacanciers.

FUKEワールド個展ツアー第一弾、2014年10月のフランスでの個展が開催中です。
展覧会タイトルは、「天国感 Sentiment Céleste」。オープニングの10月7日は、私の誕生日と重ねてあり超満員の大盛況でした。
テーマの「天国感」には、世界の人々は離れていても、空と心は時間と場所を超えて繋がっているという意味を持たせてあります。FUKE個展を見に来て下さった方々、世界中から応援をいただいている方々の心をFUKEの展覧会を通して一つに結び付けるというものにしています。展覧会が一方的に見せるだけのものではなく、世界を結ぶことが主目的となった展示を見ていただいています。
画廊の名前と住所です。 Galerie de Gajac 19 rue de Penne 47300 Villeneuve sur Lot France
今回、展示計画を作っていて、独自の世界観を持つ花や風景などのデジタル絵画の素材を自在に組み合わせて展示することができるので、展示方法におけるオリジナリティをたくさん編み出せることが解りました。私の個展は、絵画や写真でこういうことができるという、喜びと驚きを提供できる、小さな革命として積み重ねていきたいと思います。 FUKE
