Accordions at Tulle

We're just back from the accordion festival at Tulle.  We were there in 2022 and had a good time so we went again.   It was less good this year- fewer visitors, and the small groups of musicians travelling about the town centre in various open-top vehicles were almost completely absent.   The local Maugein accordion factory didn't have an open day.  But there were plenty of more formal concerts that we enjoyed, and the new town museum was impressive.

We had lunch on the way down in a quirky restaurant in the middle of nowhere beside the road.  The cars parked outside gave a measure of confidence, so we stopped and checked it out.   The meat was cooked on an open fire, something you don't see very often.    Half of the room was given to dining tables, the other half a car boot sale.   It turned out that the place was for sale; we were two of the four customers present.   Perhaps the cars were a decoy.
