I'm still poking around in my photo archives. This is a photo I took in the biggest town (pop. 50,000) in our départment here in central France back in 2006. It's Blois, and it was a royal town for several centuries. The river is the Loire and the church in the middle of the photo is the town's Renaissance-style Saint-Louis cathedral. The bridge at Blois was built in the early 18th century — an older stone bridge there had collapsed in 1716.
On the home front, I bought a beautiful cauliflower yesterday and my morning today will be spent preparing and cooking it. I don't know if you like cauliflower (chou-fleur in French), but I know I do. I'll make a cheese sauce for it.
