The bird is flying through the city

Saint Sernin

Up side down, it is a different way to take a photo. It is relax!! It is the reason why I spent a long while to take this one too. It should not become a habit!!

The vault

We are in an appartment of the downtown. It is a five meters height vaulting ceiling. The construction of the huge style begun in the 13 th century. It is a gigentic and unique work of art, built using architectural techniques far ahead of its time. Mr Grimm the owner of the appartment let me take this photo. He ask me not to pay attention at the cobwebs! ok, but I can't see any cobwebs??

Roquefort cheese

On August 31st, 1666, Roquefort cheese acquired its "lettres de noblesse" (letters patent of nobility) once and for all. Indeed, a ruling of the Parliament in Toulouse decreed that only the cheese coming from the natural caves of Roquefort-sur-Soulzon was genuine. Therefore, any cheese coming from any other place was declared counterfeit.
