Dordogne - Bastides, chateaux and walnuts
... each type; the duck, the walnut and the cepe (mushroom) - full of fat and flavour, rich and juicy. We collected our baguette, some ripe, sweet tomatoes and a slice from the huge round of cheese. For dessert we bought a slice of the pistachio and almond nougat which is cut off a huge round, bundt cake shaped block. It is chewy and delicious. (None of this is fattening because it's French).

Last full day. What to do?! Must see Castenaud according to other guests, & C wants to see 'grottes' (caves). Start with Castelnaud. C had wanted to walk, but accepted we needed to get our skates on.
