On our way to Sarlat (our home for the next week), we stopped for a quick stroll through the old town district of Bergerac. Jerry and I had seen it briefly in 2012 and had always wanted to spend more than the 15 minutes it was allotted on our tour. While this was not an exhaustive exploration, we were glad to get to wander through it and see more than we had previously. We were glad, too, that Jill and Randy would see it.
One quickly thinks of Cyrano de Bergerac, and we did bump into him a couple times. What had struck us before was the unusual form of timbering, called fish bone. The reason for the term is evident when you see the buildings.
