Le Chat Noir!
Le Chat Noir, or my chat noir, lives in Saint-Émilion, France.

We spent the day thinking we were driving around the Ring of Kerry. Turns out, we were on The Wild Atlantic Way. What a couple of Dingleberries we were. On the up side, magnificent views and no traffic. By the way, we overnighted at Murphy's B&B in green, not Murphy's Bed and Breakfast in red (above).
Wild lupins and a friendly white horse near an exhibit showing stone homes where Irish families lived and died during the infamous Irish famine. According to the guide books here, more than 2 million people either died or emegrated.
Looking out from inside a "famine cottage" Fabienne passes between the restored cottage and the Atlantic Ocean. The horseshoe on the windowsill seems an odd relic ... but then, this is a place that hopes to attract the tourist and remind them of the Luck of The Irish and the great famines 1845 and 1852. I guess it could have been worse.
