WITCHES AND DISCOVERIES
This weekend has been a wonderful change. Not having driven for over three years I was a little nervous but «we» went off and I was flying. Of course on these roads the traffic is not Parisian. The first stop was Angles-sur-L’Anglin. A village which is described as «one of the most beautiful in France». On the outskirts a site called Roc-aux-Sorciers is an Upper Paleolithic rock shelter site dating to the mid-Magdalen cultural period 14000 BC, made famous by its relief wall carvings. Translating that would be the « Witches Rock» which has nothing to do with the site itself. Berry is the next department and is supposed to be full of witches and weird happenings. I was there with my Mother and daughter many moons ago and effectively, the light made the surroundings very mysterious. I did not feel this at all on the site but I did feel it on a walk I did before going to visit the cave which has now been reproduced as the original site is very precarious and excavations are still
