So here we are under the Provincial sun and despite being Spring’s last gasp, it’s hot, hot, hot. The sun’s splitting the stones as the Irish would say. 33 degrees to be precise. Menerbes is […]

2024 Day 48 – 50 Camargue
I didn’t realise it yesterday, but we’ve officially crossed into South East France, a milestone of sorts on this meandering journey of ours. Himself has determined that we’re ‘near’ Camargue, near being a relatively loose […]
2024 Days 46 & 47 – The Gorges of Tarn
The Gorges of Tarn. Sounds straight out of Lord of The Rings doesn’t it? So named for the gorges gouged out though the limestone plateaus of the Sauveterre and Mejean by the Tarn River over […]
2024 Day 45 – Sainte-Eulalie-d’Olt
A short hop from Saint-Come-d’Olt, set on a meander of the Lot River, is the Les Plus Village of Sainte-Eulalie-d’Olt. Best of all, we learn that otters live here! Otties!!! Built around a 15th century […]
2024 Day 44 – Saint-Come-d’Olt
We’ve edged our way closer to the very centre of southern France. Our path has taken us to Saint-Come-d’Olt, yet another Les Plus Beaux Village from our exceedingly useful book. Saint-Come-d’Olt houses feature scallop shaped […]
2024 Day 43 – Estaing
The morning starts with a last walk through Capdenac-le-Haut, ostensibly in search of a Boulangerie but we’re out of luck – closed. I do spot this bunny cheekily set with a strategic view. Himself sets […]
2024 Day 42 – Figeac and Capdenac-le-Haut
A very important task to be attended to this morning before we set off – Cardaillac, as small as it is, has a market! Finally!! There’s barely a handful of stalls, but clearly local producers. […]
2024 Day 41- Cardaillac
We finally have the makings of a plan. With the last of Spring upon us, we’re taking the opportunity to head for Provence where hopefully it won’t be blindingly hot. As the weather then warms, […]
2024 Day 40 Chateau de Beynac
It’s a short hop up the road to Beynac-et-Cazenac, yet another Dordogne Les Plus Beaux Village. We’re certainly spoilt for choice along the river. We’re still in what I’ll term ‘England in shorts’ – some […]
2024 Day 39 Jardin de Marqueyssac
We’re off, by all accounts, to the glorious perfection of Jardin de Marqueyssac, aka The Hanging Gardens of Marqueyssac. The gardens are are betwixt Beynac-et-Cazenac and La Roque-Gageac, within the clifftop Chateau de Marqueyssac, one […]
