I must first apologise...but I don't know to how many of you...I spent quite a long time the other day catching up with blogs and T Day posts on the laptop at our caravan....I don't quite know at which point I realised that one of the comments didn't seem to publish as expected - it's more difficult to tell on blogs that moderate comments - but when I went back to check hardly any of the comments I made had published. I did try to add them again but by then I was very tired so I still haven't caught up!!!
I'm taking you back to Toulouse briefly..we didn't do much as the temperature went up even more on Wednesday!
We went to the market, it was lovely and cool and so much lovely food to see
More cheese....yum!
It's time to link to Bleubeard and Elizabeth for T Stands For Tuesday! It is intended to be a drink related post but many of us share our food too!
When we got in there was a waiting list and quite a few people before us in the queue!
When the main course arrived I totally forgot to take a photo but it was a really delicious duck dish!
We needed to walk off our lunch then so we headed across the city, staying on the shady side of the streets and occasionally popping into shops with air con(Shhh!)
We headed for the Cathedral of St Etienne - as we opened the door we felt a blast of cool air...wonderful!
We walked back to the apartment taking one last look at the beautiful architecture of Toulouse.
The next day - on the hottest day so far, we were on our way to Poitiers!
Thanks for looking, Chris
So sorry that you have lost the comments and all the time you took to leave them. I do appreciate it so Chris! And Toulouse- oh my... the food (bien sur!!!), the buildings and architecture (oh la la - magnifique!!). What another fantastic trip you have enjoyed, and thank you so very much for sharing. Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteAll those amazing cheeses and fruits have me drooling. I think I could live off of fruit and cheese. Looks like the perfect place to eat or shop.
ReplyDeleteThat cathedral is breath taking but that building with the lady on it takes the cake. So many unique places and architecture.
So glad you shared.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I love visiting markets when I travel to see all the foods. They do say so much about a place, don't they? As usual, I enjoy my bit of armchair travel. Happy T day Chris. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteFruit and cheese. I could live on both. I'm a huge cheese fan, and all of the se look SO good. My problem is, I would want to take an entire round of each home with me.
ReplyDeleteYour food looks decadent. Dare I say, everything looked fattening, except the water (grin). It's amazing how they serve water in France.
Beautiful photos of your walk around Toulouse and in the Cathedral of St. Etienne, too. I so enjoyed your walk and seeing more of the town.
Thanks for sharing your trip around Toulouse, your food, the cathedral, and your water (and cheese) with us for T this Tuesday.
BTW, you asked if the association was national. There are many neighborhood associations, even in my town. Our association is called North Riverside Neighborhood Association and that was the newsletter I was writing for. There are about 1500 people who live in my neighborhood boundaries.
I could leave the cheese but not dessert... shame it was so unbearably hot, you did well to see what you did! Love the cathedral.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, all the cheese! And the temperature, oh, yes! It´s dropped down here in Germany too much!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the gorgeous photos. I loved the cheeses best, I would like to eat m way through the display! Your food and drinks at the restaurant look great, too. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer you lost all the comments. That happens to me so often. I do them on my phone or ipad and half of them don't get through. So frustrating. I know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteToulouse is really lovely. Thank you for taking us through the city. The architecture is amazing. I love the Art Deco house.
The food looks so yummy. I was drooling at the sight of all that cheese! The cafe looked fun. I like the decor with all those old posters.
Looking forward to seeing Poitiers. (We were there too)
Happy T-Day,
Hugs,
Lisca
Great photos. I love the architecture, especially the church. Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteOh Chris thank you for sharing these photos and especially the ones of the market, I could almost smell the aromas and would have spent ages looking at the variety of cheese, before buying some to take home. This brought many memories back of our trips to France in the caravan.
ReplyDeleteYour meal out sounded and looked delicious.
Happy T day wishes Chris.

What an amazing food market! Your meal at the restaurant looks so delicious too and I so enjoyed looking at all the wonderful architecture with you 😀. Toulouse looks like a fabulous place to visit, thanks for sharing and Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteAll that fruit and cheese! yum! Your restaurant meal looks delicious, too. The cathedral is beautiful inside and out. The architecture is so interesting, so different from anything I see here. The doors and windows! What a delightful trip, even given the drama ;) It does add an interesting element to tales of the trip, I'm sure lol
ReplyDeleteHappy T Tuesday!
Lovely post! I always enjoy seeing your hubby's smiling face! :) All the photos are wonderful, and the food ones make me hungry. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for comments, mine don't always take. I don't know why. But, I do know I can't post comments from my iPad. Happy T Day!
Toulouse - what a beautiful city. Thank you for the photos, Chris. I don't know how you could walk past those wonderful market display cases without buying. Your starter and dessert look delicious. I'll take your word about the duck dish 😉
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your journal page with the photo from the church as a background.
Happy T-day! Eileen xx
A nice market. The Eldest would be drooling all over the cheese. Me? I'd rather press my nose to the pastry window. Looks like you found a popular place to eat. I love the old-fashioned fruit and vegetable box labels. Lunch looks quite good. The interior of the church is so beautiful. Always amazes me how the Medievals were able to create such large and gorgeous churches without all the modern construction equipment. Beautiful architecture, too. The iron railings look like lace. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteYummy array of foods. The architecture you shared is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy T day!
Wow, that food and the amazing architecture! AWESOME Chris! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos Chris, must admit I always love to go to the local food markets and the food in the restaurant looks delicious. Toulouse looks a beautiful city.
