Further Afield in France...


After Vivynne booked flights to join us for another Easter at the Chateau (her family’s 2nd and our 4th), she started researching somewhere for us to explore for a few days. She chose the Dordogne region, about a 6-hour drive (plus the time to fix a flat) southwest of the Loire Valley. We had a weekend alone at the Chateau, then Vivynne’s family joined us there for a night to recover from jetlag before hitting the road for a 3-night stay in the medieval city of Sarlat. The 14th century historic center of this market town was very quaint. This area is famous for its foie gras, so duck was very popular at the restaurants since there would be a lot of parts to get rid out after removing the livers. Luckily we managed to find some other more appetizing options.
