Dordogne - Bastides, chateaux and walnuts
It took some superior problem solving to find our accommodation in Sarlat as the GPS didn't register the name or address at all. Finally, after a phone call, we wound our way up the hill above the town to the impressive old building that was set amongst the walnut trees and was once a monastery. The room was fittingly, almost monastically simple but still spacious and comfortable. Jean Luc and Martine are the hosts and I felt that perhaps Jean Luc was ...
The Valley of Wines
... br>
We stopped alongside the river and had a thin based pizza from a little cafe pizza restaurant, then continued on until we finally arrived at our hotel.
We checked in and then walked into the old part of the town which was well worth it. Great eating places, amazing buildings, narrow streets and statue of Bergerac with his big nose. An eagle could have perched on that ...
Everywhere we look, a bloody castle!

Prehistoric Cave Paintings
... that they were working with primitive materials and without flashlights. There were efficient too - re-using curves from one animal for another, superimposing their drawings.
There were only 5 of us for the 2:15 tour at Fort de Combarelles. These engravings were incredibly detailed, but without colour as water has washed away the paint over time. The variety of animals seemed greater here: wooly rhino, mammoth, ...
Dordogne - Castenaud & grottes
... Sarlat. Easier said than done - got lost a couple of times, even with GPS. One missed turn & we were out of town & up into the highlands on a one way road. Recovered, but another missed turn & we were on a freeway out of town. Finally made it, and we're very glad we persevered. We're a bit blase about beautiful towns, but Sarlat was definitely worth a ...
