Lovely town, not so lovely people. The whole city is far right National Front.
Ooh, thank you for this trip down memory lane! I have visited Moissac on two very special occasions.
The first time I spent the whole day, arriving so early that I had the mist-filled cloister all to myself, then had a beautiful afternoon for my picnic beside the river after walking across the Pont-canal.
The other time I was there for one of the concerts of Toulouse-les-Orgues on that great organ. Splendid!
