Saint Cirq Lapopie

---

I need to write these blogs before I jumble all these beautiful villages together! Thursday we drove (among many maniacal French drivers) to Saint Cirq Lapopie. What a treat. This is my favorite village so far. It is an exquisite medieval town built into the rock on a sheer cliff. How they accomplished this architectural feat is beyond me. We parked way down below and walked up into the town and as we strolled through the winding paths (aka roads ?) there were intrigging shops at every turn. We then found a lovely small cafe with a table on the patio and enjoyed a three course meal, including luscious desserts. Duck is a local favorite and we have had some version of that several places. And the food presentation is always exquisite. Check out the pictures. As you may detect, food is one of the many highlights of each day!

All these photos are really cool. I assume the Romans get the credit for all the cool architecture??? By the way, what is the official French term for "purple tomato on a donut"? It looks just like something Dad would order.
