The bells ring every day from the church at the

The World War I Monument
World War I Monuments are common in the villages.
The rooster that sits atop these monuments is an
emblem of France. Quinns school is in the
background to the right of the monument.

Place du Pont de Garonne
We crossed this place, at the end of the street,
many times a day bringing Quinn to and from
school in the morning, again in the afternoon, on
the way to the boulangerie, the boucherie, the

The Vidourle
The Vidourle River runs through the middle of
Quissac. Feeding the ducks is a common activity
to use the left-overs from the daily baguette.

The Vidourle
The month of October is known for rainfalls
capable of delivering several inches of
rain. Coincidentally, the French language
includes the word Vidourlade - a flood of the
Vidourle.
