2 years agoOK, I guess one of us needs to look this up. Here’s the scoop:
It is said that in Saint Geniez d'Olt, at the end of the 15th century, lived a sinner whose children had captured a marmot. On a stormy afternoon, the little animal flees frightened. The two children went in search of him, as a violent storm broke out, drowning the valley under a real flood. On their return, several houses, including theirs, had been taken away. Their lives had been spared thanks to the escape of the marmot. They were called the "Marmots. This name was subsequently given to all the inhabitants of Saint Gêniez d'Olt. A statue telling the history of the Marmots is located on the old bridge in the heart of the city.

2 years agoLook at that zoom! I’m so envious.
2 years agoWay to go Susan!

I don't recall having ever noticed even one clock in most church towers, let alone two.
2 years agoIn the event that the clocks get out of synch, how do you know which is correct?
