Nous sommes le lundi vingt sept novembre

It must be more than 14 years ago that we went on a troiseme age trip to Lectoure and visted this company who produces products " pastel bleu" Apart from the products being beautiful ( I bought a beret and Malc a blue shirt) they showed us around and explained how the colour bleu was first made. They told us how important the colour from the yellow plant called pastel was and it made the region rich . They used to pay men to buy beer and then collected the buckets from the drinking place. The pee was vital in the colour process, but only from the men!
This company have taken a cabin for Christmas in the Place Capitol in Toulouse. Worth a look.
