Once upon a time in Foix

Once upon a time in Foix…

Foix (a town in the Pyrenees region) is homonymous with many other French nouns. As in “Once upon a time” (“Il était une fois” – spelt differently).

It’s even part of a famous nursery rhyme aimed at teaching children how to spell that word according to the context.

It’s also home to a famous castle on top of a steep hill.

That woman wasn’t wearing a face-mask. The photo was taken when we were still free to roam. At least a little.
