Day trip


 There are as yet no timetables for the summer schedule but the lady in the Limoux station let me photograph the laminated copy she had. Hope its legible. Though the info is allegedly on line.

So, easy and delightful trip! No access to transport or stores without mask so if you are planning a day out, don't forget it -
Naturally I headed to the Beaux Arts where they are showing one Philippe Shangti with a show called The Future is Now. The artist is denouncing the vices of society - hurrah!

 His methods consist in taking glorious huge photos of beautiful nude women in provocative poses with 'No Prostitution Here' written across their bodies. Ditto cocaine, etc. No mention of trafficking of women, of addiction and so forth. Tad voyeuristic? Simplistic? -But good luck to him, the staff loved it and so did the young women scuttling about with cameras.
The Beaux Arts continues to house a Courbet, a Corot and an Ingres... and the usual rather nice collection of worthies from the last couple of centuries.
The sales are on :)
