Una plan polida jornada....

or a very good day, in Occitan. A huge demonstration through the centre of Toulouse, probably 50,000 in all, and certainly many more than the 30,000 who were at Carcassonne for the last such event. We met our friends from the village and marched, or rather ambled, it being quite a laid-back demo, with them and a big group of people from Béziers or Besièrs as it is in Occitan. There were a lot of flags and a lot of loud music, but this man's T-shirt said it all. Exhausting but fun and nice for E to see Toulouse again, having spent a year there as a student 12 years ago and still feeling very attached to the place.
