French province - narrow streets, fairytale cave and dolmen
Since I have a lot of other things to do now, some of my posts contain more photos than text. This post is no exception.
We have already written about France, about her peculiarities and living conditions, as well as about visiting various large cities. However, about how we stayed for several days in a French village near Setfon (a larger city nearby - Toulouse), it was not told. Now I want to fill this gap.
During that week, we walked the streets of three small towns, visited a large cave, the entrance to which was in the fabulous thickets of a boxwood forest, visited a Catholic cemetery and even saw a dolmen.

There are many small details in France

For some reason I used to think that only we have dolmens in Russia. Well, that is, there is something similar in other countries, but only dolmens are right here. It turned out that exactly the same structures are in the Pyrenees in France. And one of them is located on the outskirts of Setfon town. Stands alone in the woods next to a wide alley and a small airport. As our friends told us, during the construction of this airport, many dolmens were destroyed. So not only in Russia such strange things as the destruction of monuments are happening. True, it was all 20 years ago.
We walked along this alley to the dolmen

The weather was amazing that day
Fairy cave
Friends gave us their little subcompact car and we drove it to the cave. Only one thing was upsetting - the falling rain. Having strayed a little among low bushes and stones, we found ourselves in a boxwood forest. The feeling was, as in a fairy tale, the goblin was about to jump out of the tree. And so we gazed at this green jungle that we almost passed the entrance to the cave. Our attention was attracted by the voices of the locals, who often come here themselves..
Sure, Migulinsky caves, which we visited recently are much more interesting from the point of view of the caves themselves, but here such a stunning view opened up ...
It started raining on the day of visiting the cave
Stunning views of the Pyrenees and the river bend
Fabulous thickets of boxwood
The entrance to the cave is not easy to find
If you use a flashlight for a long time

Something again wanted so much in France, in the Pyrenees ...
