Tobacco harvest time!

We've been coming to this region of France for many years before buying Les Granges and this is the first time I've seen tobacco being harvested, in this case just outside Montignac. Over 20 years ago it seemed that every field you passed in this area was the same broad leaved plant, now it probably takes up one field in twenty, an obvious sign of the decline in popularity of the cigarette. they do still produce cigarettes in this area, a large factory is still situated on the outskirts of Sarlat
