Oloron Saint Marie

This town is famous for its Cathedral.

  Specifically its stained glass windows and the adjacent interior which put it in some elite group of Cathedrals.. This is a sample:

On the way to see these, it was early in the morning, I stopped for coffee in a hotel. The rest of town was still quiet. The hotel bar was an active place, all regulars having their morning rituals. All friends of some sort. As each person arrived there was a kiss or handshake with everyone already there, including the woman behind the bar. Most convivial. It doesn't happen in my local cafe in Melbourne.
