Started the day with heading to the big local Sunday market. It was a very convivial affair, and I had coffee and then a half dozen oysters. After roaming around for awhile, I headed up to the Japanese garden and to find the statue of Carlos Gardel, who was born in Toulouse. Back to the market area for lunch, and then went to St. Etienne a church and then to the Royal Gardens, a few more places but definitely covered some ground.
Joanne of Arc.
This is the Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Toulouse. They figured out how to make the arches flood resistant by adding holes so that high water could flow through and not take down the bridge.
France Explorations, and Camino Del Norte, Spain 
Great pictures! One of your favorite breakfasts, only in France or perhaps brunch… That’s an interesting looking animal in the statues. What is it, a wolf?… The holes at the top of the arches are ingenious – functional, pretty, and so simple.

Not sure what those statues are, but they were set like Fu dogs at the entrance to the Royal Gardens.

The Pont Neuf looked Roman to me but it is 16 th century crossing the Garonne. Lovely bridge.
