I forgot to mention in the last post that duck, as a menu item is huge here. I have enjoyed it and tried it in many different forms.
Ordering steak can be hazardous, med rare actually means very rare!
Meat and cheese boards are common.
The sauces the French make are divine.
Whenever you enter a shop the assistant always say “Bonjour” when you leave “au revoir”
Most people in hospitality speak a little English, if my very limited French does not get the required response then hand gestures help or I resort to Google Translate which has been a godsend. They really appreciate if you make an effort by learning basic French words.
If travelling, get a Wise card, we use it for every purchase in every country, you just load different currencies onto it.
The weather has been kind to us, most days here in Sarlat have been a high of 27 or 28 except the first day which was 32. Keep missing the heatwaves so far.
Shops/businesses close for a couple of hours in the middle of the day so you plan around that.
