Meanwhile ......... back in Tarascon sur Ariege, 

Rue Naugé is looking very colourful this evening.

Tomorrow sees L'Ariegeoise cycle race with well over
4,000 brave participants.  The départ is early in the morning from alongside the river and the arrivée is here in Place Garrigou in the medieval part of town.

The merchandise stands are in the Foraille with Tour St. Michel in the background.

Some of the ancient townhouses of Place Garrigou can be seen on the left side of the photo.

 Mont Sédour (with its Egyptian vulture's nest!) is in the background.
