The sky has suddenly darkened, the rain is coming. “It’s going to drop,” observe the bar patrons, over their 8 a.m. espressos. Preste, the waiter at Le Millésime, the hotel-restaurant in Meymac (Corrèze) that the elders still call “Le Limousin”, closes the French window.

The storm greets them with its roll.
