T Stands for the Jours de Patrimoine!

Hi everyone, last week it all got too much and I missed my T Day post. Although things are  much improved there are things I need to deal with

I was about to show you what we did on the Jours de Patrimoine weekend, which was the last we spent with our friends.

One the Saturday we went to Parthenay to an art event 

We had wanted to go when we stayed last year but couldn't find the details.

We started at an exhibition in the Museum.

First a lovely combination of calligraphy and collage

The museum had some interesting items too

Most of the artists had set up their work in the mediaeval houses of Parthenay

I spotted this letterbox on one of the doors

 This lovely lady painted this for me

There was a larger space in the chapel

...and in the Medieval gardens we visited a few years ago.

We all enjoyed our visit and I came away inspired.

The next day we stayed local and went to visit a Pigeonnier in Vouille  the nearby village.

Vouille is a lovely village

After a little walk around we went for lunch at one of our favourite restaurants

Although I didn't take any photos apart from the menu the food was, as always, delicious!

So here is a photo from Patrimoine Day last year when we visited a Mediaeval Fair..as you can see we had water and hubby is enjoying his Tarte Tatin

Hope this is OK for joining in at T Stands For Tuesday over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's blog the Altered Book Lover.

I'll continue with our journey next week all being well!

Thanks for looking,Chris
