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 38 In celebration of Himself
It’s a big day today – Himself’s birthday! And he’s jagged a perfect 28 degree day for it too. It’s a tough gig, but someone has to do it. The morning passes in a […]
2024 Day 37 La Roque-Gageac
It’s a gloriously sunny day as we drive down the cliffs into the the Dordogne Valley. Spring has finally turned a corner – the sky is an endless blue. It’s our third time in this […]

We’re back doing what we love most, using our Les Plus Beaux Villages book as a guide through France’s wildflower bedecked countryside. I can’t express how grateful I am that I randomly spotted our book […]
2024 Day 33 Finally…on the road again
I’ve lost count of how many days we’ve technically been off road, possibly edging towards 10? 14? Even with the hire car, cabin fever set in a while ago, but at last, it’s tantalisingly close […]
2024 Day 28 Saint Robert
Thank God for the hire car. As lovely as Segur-le-Chateau is, there are only so many times you can walk a small space. We take a break from the 100 km round trip to stalk the […]
2024 Day 24 Pompadour
Oh the freedom! With hire car to hand there’s no keeping us in. Setting out in the morning feels reminiscent of escaping lockdown – everything is fresh and new again. First stop is the garage where […]
2024 Days 20 – 23 Not so fast….
The day starts with good intent. We take the opportunity of good timing to catch up with family. It’s just before lunch that we attempt to set off towards our next Les Plus Beaux Village. […]
