A Man and His Cat

I spy... : Cordes-sur-Ciel, FR

I caught this guy and his cat catching a little sun and watching the tourists hike up the hill to the fortified section of Cordes-sur-Ciel.

"It's okay, Little One. I'll protect you." I'm sure the cat was a bit concerned, because Charlie was along on this outing. Little did he know he had nothing to worry about. Charlie has learned to be more afraid of cats than they should be of him.

Cordes-sur-Ciel

Tarn Blue : Cordes-sur-Ciel, FR

Previously known simply as Cordes, the village of Cordes-sur-Ciel (Cordes in the Sky) changed its name in 1993 to reflect its position on a hill and often above the clouds that drift through the valley below. The town dates back to the 13th century (1222 ACE) and was a fortified town. Fine examples of 13th and 14th century architecture can be found in Cordes-sur-Ciel. More photos can be seen here.
