If you buy The Connexion each month, you will know that every edition features an image by Gascon-British artist Perry Taylor.
We always enjoy his art and are delighted that he supplies the humorous image for our Make Sense of … column every month - we're using an already published one to go with this article, and you can see more by clicking here - and subscribers can read the informative articles, too.
Next month's will focus on French President Emmanuel Macron's new National Service scheme which is due to start next year
If you like his art, and find yourself near Marciac in the Gers department in southwest France in the weeks to come, you may want to find time to visit a pop-up exhibition that he shares with Yannick Beslot, Rue des Cinq Parts in the town which coincides with the popular Jazz in Marciac festival.
