I don't recall having ever noticed even one clock in most church towers, let alone two.

In the event that the clocks get out of synch, how do you know which is correct?

I thought immediately of you when I saw them; glad to see they didn't escape your attention.

OK, 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.

The matching half-shutters on the top are great.

I can’t believe we failed to swing by this bridge. I forgot it was here.

Nope. Just tweaking you for the fun of it. It’s yours.

You must be missing it - I think the zoom is even better than my newer, broken version of the camera! I'm so grateful to have had it this past week but I'm happy to send it back your way, just need an address in Menton or Nice. Or Portland or Tucson.

I don’t think so. Pomyrols is larger, with a large chateau in addition to its church. Maybe La Boulesque?
