en Périgord Nord (bis) (France)

This is a truly captivating image, the birth home of Etienne de la Boétie in the sixteenth century. It’s hard to imagine a house that someone might have been born almost 500 years ago still standing in a street and you can walk by it and put your hand on it.

Much earlier this year, I received a postcard also from Dominique also from the same area, but a different view. I love collecting different views of the same place; when I can finally visit, it will all seem so familiar!

Dominique wonders about the aforementioned writer who is best known in Anglophone circles as the penpal of Michel de Montaigne. He writes in the postcard “Penpal or something more? History, always straight-laced, doesn’t give a definitive answer.” But I think we all know that the best people in history are LGBT, yeah? :-)
