The chap behind the fountain is
Leon Gambetta, an interesting fellow by all accounts and a fine figure to feature on the second Picture of France Week picture. Just to his right is the bell tower of College Gambetta (where I went as a youngster), which used to be the university in Cahors (
College de Quercy I think) and probably where the great man learned his latin and geography too.
For those who requested, it is Picture of France Week. I will try to post a picture every day this week from my last trip.
