I'm located in south of France. Near... well in the middle of nowhere, lost in the woods.
Aurillac and Rodez are the nearest cities.

Good to see you on here Chip. I am trying to make out who you are on where I recommended you from? I have done so for several folks.. I think, that if we keep on going this way, we will be able to have a coo and the French ex-pats vill rule ze vorld :oo: Sorry, got a bit carried avay zere?

Not too sure where Crowie got the JJ from on his welcome to you though?? Probably too many tinnies?:o I'm lucky I suppose because I never make mastikes when I am tryping :?

[crowie]

Hey, Chip put that pretty little french Flag on his post....
that's got to count as a picture of sorts......
I know I had no idea how to do that much on a first post and was always in trouble from the mods for doing the something wrong.....
Blame the ABI.....
Cheers, crowie....

PS - Still like to see some real photos of Chip's handiwork......

I am going to take a stab at this but I think there might be a few French persons with a name starting with the letter J

[copeau]

well, sure, but not al lot of John, Jim, Joe, Josh, Jay...
Instead, we've got one Johnny. (French people will know what I mean):D

I have just had a look at your blog too. Lovely stuff there Copeau!

Can I just say though that although the cross is commonly known as the Cathar or Occitane cross it is actually the cross of the Counts of Toulouse :D :D And a great favourite of mine. You have done a lovely job of that one :2tsup:

I love the history of this part of France. Here's a small bit about Occitanie and Toulouse (as an aside, I live in Avenue d'Occitanie..)

The Counts of Toulouse and the Cross of Toulouse. (http://www.midi-france.info/19_toulouse.htm)

And I I live in Albi, not far from Toulouse :D

Welcome

[Jonzjob]

We haven't been to Albi yet Jean-Jacques, but intend to this year, we hope. You certainly have a lovely huge cathedrial there and we want to have a look at it and the cité.

If you get down this way, give me a yell and we may be able to meet for a coffee?

[copeau]

Albi's Cathedral is magnifique, I love it, and the old streets are very pittoresque.
