21st March 2009 ...... "oooh, gorgeous, another chateau!" Multiply by a very large number and you have the kind of dialogue that was going on for most of the weekend. The Dordogne is a valley that a lot of people know of, and rightly so for its magnificent scenery, ancient fortifications and chateaus. The Lot Valley was equally so, but in a slightly more rugged and un-touristed fashion.
Highlights for us were having Jenny and cousin Louis along, Chateau de Castelnaud, staying with friends in their gorgeous old farmhouse in the Lot Valley and the Parc de Marqueysaac (we're coming home to rip out the garden and put in a bit of hedging!).
Didn't get to the Lascaux caves (closed!) ..... hopefully next time.
