We enjoyed our outing to the easily found archives just off the road into Albi. A very well set up expo with nice touches like the sandbags scattered about. The photos are superb but terrible, all except the one of the Generals going for a champagne lunch, just off this picture below, was another picture showing a table set up for them with bottle after bottle of champagne[a sign of the times that it was not Prosecco!]
Defintely worth a visit.
