Castelsarrasin
Jaques Cousteau was born here. The marina we are in is named after him.
The founder of Detroit U.S.A. came from here too. Cadillac cars are actually named after the French town of Cadillac which is only a few km away and he is the connection!
The rugby team is in Federation 2 - we watched them play in a cup match on Sunday. They slaughtered the opposition - very slick and fast!
The fishing is excellent! Paul has had carp, bream, roach - all big, of course!?? But, it was a bit surprising when the man on the boat next to us took them cook [carp and chips just doesn’t have the right ring to it!!]
…and on a funny note… we are quite close to the local secondary school! When the kids are out on the yards, the staff have a loudspeaker which is used to shout at pupils!?! We actually heard `Kevin’ [yes really, Kevin!!] being told to behave himself over there! Good to know that some things conform to the European standards!!! [the EEC Standard for Kevinness?]
