Photo Of The Day: River Salat and St. Girons in France
Just a taster of this beautiful region today — a shot from the Avenue Francois Camel bridge across the River Salat and into the old town section of St. Girons in the Midi-Pyrenees of France.

We are ringed by mountains here and this is one of the prime cycling destinations in Europe. Organised tour groups come here from a variety of countries and in the last week alone I have heard groups that were German, Swedish, Danish, and Italian as I was out walking through the town. From the large front windows of our new apartment, we constantly see pelotons of brightly clad riders zooming by.
We both feel that we have made a very good lifestyle choice in moving here!

If I didn’t know it was a photo I’d swear it was an oil painting! Gorgeous.

Thanks! We walked through the town last night, over one bridge, back across another one, and couldn’t stop smiling about the fact that we lived in such a pretty place. I am so visually oriented that it gives me joy on a daily basis!
