Roman Mosaics

Less than a month ago I found myself in France with my family. 
Taking a holiday before the season starts, always a good idea.

We decided to take a trip to see some Roman mosaics. Well, lets be honest, I convinced my husband that we needed to see some Roman mosaics.

We drove all the way to a little town called Montcaret in the Dordogne.
There, hidden away, is a little museum and a little church and lots of ancient mosaics.
Some mosaics still have to be restored but as usual there is a funding to be obtained.

I love the simplicity of the design, the visual impact of the colours and most of all I love the fact that it is still there after thousands of years.
