Le Boulangerie

This is our newly christened Library - the old boulangerie. It still has the igloo-like stone oven in it that seats about four people. It is really great to be in a place like this and be able to really explore all the nooks and crannies. I feel bad for the tourists who peek in doors, but can't really completely feel out the place like I can. It is a shame, because Lacoste is so winding and beautiful in it's hidden details. It is fascinating to me to find a back stairway carved into the mountain in one place and get a completely surprising view on the buildings below or above. I always felt cheated in New Orleans when I was denied permission to stick my head into every door or window. Here there are a few doors and windows that are off-limits, but overall we have free-run of the place.

Happy Easter! You'd think that I would have had a more than enough opportunity to go to church. Apparently attendance here is so low that one priest does the rounds for about ten neighboring villages. Therefore, they have mass that the church here about once every ten weeks.
