Titled in the book, "The view from the Doctor's Garden", this view is exactly the same today albeit the trees have grown much taller. The house below now houses the other major Najac restaurant "Belle Rive"

   The Old mill still stands by the bridge although it has suffered somewhat over the  

  years from fire and earthquake.

The view from the back garden of the house where the Gordon's stayed in 1923, you'll have fun finding this view today The house is substantially unchanged, but has been bought ( 2007) and renovated by an English owner.

           This oil painting is the view in the opposite direction of Cora's sketch left;

               the lady feeding the ducks is Madame Tressol..(Sestrol in the book).

 The same view from the opposite direction once more, The man mending the barrel is    Monsieur Marty and his family, one of whose descendants still lives in the same house.

Two views of the market place, from almost the same view point; Little changed today, if tidier, and in the summer a lot busier, just to the left of the fountain today is Najac's superb  Boulangerie.

Amazingly 84 years after Jan Gordon picked his morning grapes from this pergola that was already old in 1923, it has survived'.  Hopefully the new owners have been able to keep it. even the vine is old, in 1985 I was still able to sample these very same grapes  from this venerable vine
