Figeac is the city where Jean-François Champollion was born, the man who deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphics thanks to the Rosetta Stone. I believe that there is still a museum in Figeac on writings in the world
Demain est le premier des jours qu'il nous reste à vivre: profitons-en ! :D

Attractive town. I arrived this evening after a 7 hour train journey and am absolutely Kerry Packered, but I got lost in the old town searching for my hotel and the Champollion museum is still there. Hopefully I will check it out over the next few days.

Well I am not sure which one I went to but it is a jolly nice town. Historic cobbled streets, some lovely churches and a great market on Saturdays.....;I may even go again.
