WE took many pictures, photos, and images during our stay in Figeac France. We were visiting a friend in Figeac but the Tour de France happened to be passing through Figeac at the same time. Figeac was a little busier than usual. Not all pictures were from Figeac, but they are all from the surrounding area of Figeac.

We drove home from Figeac today to Toulouse. We were expecting that there might have been a lot of traffic. There was none, pas de tout. Instead of going back to the Autoroute we drove a very scenic route. We drove from Figeac to Villefranche de Rouerge, Cordes-sur-Ciel, Gaillac, and then to Toulouse. Only the last part of the trip from Gaillac to Toulouse was on the Autoroute. I am experimenting with Google maps and it’s photos feature. Here is a Google map of our route and some random photos along the way. I can’t make the photos show up along the route on the embedded map but if you click “View Larger Map” the original Google map pens and you can see all the pictures. Hope you like it.

Yesterday the Tour de France came through Figeac on its way to Toulouse. Here are some Tour de France videos from around Figeac. The Tour de France overwhelmed the small town of Figeac but it was fun.

Yes it was raining.

No we weren’t driving this car.

Figeac is a lovely town where the Lot and the Aveyron intersect. We are spending this weekend in Figeac. It just so happened that the Tour de France 2008 was coming through Figeac this weekend. Figeac is a stop on the Tour de France 2008 on Saturday July 12th. An old friend is doing a stage in Figeac and we came for the long weekend. Here are some pictures of the lovely house his friends are restoring. I will have some better pictures soon.
