A guided tour in English!

Friday 17 August
Guided tour in English of Billom!
Meet at the tourist office at 10:00 sharp.
Free for under twelves (cheap for oldies).
Billom was one of the first university towns of France (in the 14th century). It's now the garlic capital. It has atmospheric medieval alleys and houses. A big church with extraordinary wall paintings. I think the place has a strange, forgotten, feel, a little sad (plus there a no decent restaurants!), but it's definitely worth a visit.
