A typical french town

Today it was drizzling the second time since we moved here. And the second time there is no sun. Not bad for a fall season I would say.

We love this place more and more. Everything is so predictable and you know what? I love it. Maybe I'm getting old.

All the villages (towns) have the same structure: a church, la mairie (town hall), school and office de tourisme. And it doesn't matter how many people inhabit the place. There could be only four houses. 

                               Our Office de Tourisme is in the same building with the Cinema.

Office de tourisme is a place where you can find answers to most of your questions as a tourist.  Of course you have to be there when it is open. And nobody works much in France. Once you are there you can find the information about all the attractions, bus and train schedules, hotels, restaurants, working hours, etc. 

In Foix for instance we met a very nice lady  originally from Georgia who works  in the Office de tourisme who speaks five languages including Russian. She helps us each time we go there answering all kinds of questions we ask about life in France. 

If you don't know where is the Office de tourisme in the town you go to, you can always ask at the train station.
