Cahors - the Street Market and the Cathedral Saint Etienne

In Cahors, where my mother lives, a street market takes place on Saturday and Wednesday morning at the foot of the Cathedral Saint Etienne.
As you can see, there are a lot of stands of local producers and dealers. It is mainly vegetable, fruit, cheese (especially the famous and typical Cabecou made with goat milk) , meat and fish ... and the famous wine of Cahors.
The cathedral is very special with it fortified bell tower and the 2 cupola (you can just a piece of one).

Le Corbusier models

Currently there is an excellent exposition about Le Corbusier's works at Chandigarh (India) at le Centre Méridional de l'Architecture et de la Ville in Toulouse.

In addition, 103 models of Le Corbusier's projects and realizations made by a Japanese architect called Tadao Ando are exposed. This exhaustive collection is really impressive but difficult to catch.
