Grand Pigeon Station . . .

This elderly building is directly across from the platform at track level in the Nimes train station. Very quickly after starting to observe it more closely while waiting for a train to arrive, I realized that this place is pigeon central for Nimes. Hundreds of pigeons were going in and out the open windows. Not sure I want to see (or smell) the interior. . .

Bull Wine . . .

A sign for the transformational experience of drinking bull wine. . . spotted this sign on a door in a side street in Nimes, France, Summer 2007. Pretty much sums up an entire way of life for some folks in that corner of the world . . .

And this is what the real bottle looks like ! Yum !
