Quille de neuf, or Quille d'un oeuf ?

Quille is a skittle game played in South West France, very similar to those played in the UK. The nine 'quilles' can be knocked down in different formations to win different points. These ducks have created their own version. I hope the egg is hard boiled!

A play on a game of pelotte and the big red peppers of Espelette.

In Course Landaise the art is to avoid the cow as it charges and to be as close to the horns as possible. This chap took it to the limit, but the crowd are in for a close encounter themselves!

Taking deep breaths during the Tour de France cannot be healthy!

These Landais shepherds have put their stilts to good use.
