Today it rained until about 16:00, and then it stopped for a while, so I nipped out to take a few last shots of the town before I am off again for another year. I focused on houses this time - la Bourboule is full of beautiful spacious old houses, boarded up for most of the year.
The rest of the day - after taking the cure for the last time and dropping of gifts to my cure-helpers - was devoted to cleaning the apartment. They are very strict about that here - tomorrow early in the morning is the Inspection, and then I'll start the long trek home. Should finally drop into my own bed again at about midnight - it'll be a miracle if I show up at work on time!

| City Hall, just opposite my hotel |
 |
| My hotel - I couldn't possibly stay anywhere else than Les Isles Britanniques now, could I? |
 |
| Ferns in dry-stone walls I get, but strawberries? |
 |
| The school where I taught last time |
 |
| Church |
 |
| There was a wedding going on - this isn't the grrom, but the photo shows the confetti much better than the one with the lucky couple. Anyway, I didn't want to invade their privacy ... |
 |
| Notice how the moss grows in rows - less underneath the slats of the bench! |
 |
| The delicatessen I am devoted to |
 |
| Little place where I often have coffee - if I can stomach it |
 |
| This is where my sinuses got abused regularly |
 |
| The casino - yup, there is one in La Bourboule. Never tried to use it, yet. |
 |
| Being far from the sea doesn't mean La Bourboule can't have a lighthouse! |
 |
| The beach cafe is part of the casino |
