Under the Shade of the Walnut Trees

The walnut tree is the emblematic tree of Quercy. In the rural landscapes of the Lot, its generous foliage punctuates the agricultural scenery and offers welcome shade in the summer. The route des genêtes in Condat is lined with rows of ancient walnut trees that create a shaded corridor ideal for setting up stalls for a summer car boot sale. It is under this natural canopy that the 45 exhibitors of FestiCondat set up their tables and merchandise, enjoying pleasant coolness even during the hottest hours of a summer day.
