A Time Capsule
What an amazing place! We have spent 4 nights here, using this village as a base to tour the Lot Valley region. Imagine, driving through the forest and then coming around a bend in the road and finding this village precariously perched on a steep hillside. It really is "miles from anywhere".

In the afternoon, we went to a nearby river to have a swim. I tried to go in for a swim, despite the sharp stones and pebbles. The river was ...
