Pompadour

From Gabor:

marquise de pompadour's house

 

Our last day was pretty grotty, weather-wise.  However, the sun came out at about 4.30 pm and so we went to Pompadour.  This beautiful small town is devoted to horses.  We arrived just as the day’s racing had finished, but we were able to see the beautifully maintained racecourse.  We then stumbled across a showjumping competition in the grounds of the haras national (national stud – no, not M. Sarkozy!)
