Okay, three guesses. What is it??
Hint: the Lot-et-Garonne is the prune capital of the world.
Of course, it's a prune drying rack, which I found at Maison Guinguet the chocolatier and all-things-prune shop in Duras. It was standing at the cashier's counter with a 15€ price tag on it.
The prune industry in this area is huge. There are thousands of acres filled with plum trees, which were covered with white blossoms when I arrived. Now they are mostly green with a hint of white petals fluttering around.
When we got the Clé de Pruneaux home, Linda did a little research on Google and found one on sale on the One King's Lane website for $195! I guess I got a good deal as well as a lovely artifact from Duras.
