Bellême (pop. 1,500) feels like a much bigger town than it is. It's only 20 minutes by car from Mortagne-au-Perche. Walt, our friends, and I spent a few hours there on a nice sunny day. People were obviously enjoying food and drink at an outdoor café. It was market day in the town, so that was fun. We had a good lunch in a restaurant. We were fascinated watching a crew of roofers working on an old building.
Wow, that is interesting, seeing him working on that roof. I've never seen anyone working on that kind of roofing.
ReplyDeleteLove market time :)
Our across-the-street neighbors has that kind of roof and they had part of it re-done a few years ago. I should find those pictures.
DeleteThose roofs are made well! Good photo of the roofer.
ReplyDeleteWe recently had to have some of the tiles on our roof taken off because the flashing under them needed to be replaces. The workers took down maybe 30 or 40 tiles (heavy concrete tiles) and carefully laid them down on the ground in the same pattern as they were laid in on the roof, so that they could be put back up there exactly as they had been before. I wonder how many of those concrete tiles there are on our roof and how much they weigh. A lot.
