La Dordogne

4 nights in the Dordogne where the weather was very hot and sunny. 33 degrees and pure blue skies -reminiscent of the many hot days we've had in England this year. We drove through beautiful countryside passing very familiar towns and villages from our numerous visits to France in previous years.
Lovely quiet site on the right bank of the river 10 miles west of St Foy La Grande
Cycled into the town along country lanes, through apple orchards and vineyards and next to the river. Fruit hanging by the thousands in the process of being picked.
Made good use of the swimming pool, which was refreshingly cool and very welcome.
Drove into Bergerac to the Wednesday market - another beautiful town by the river. Bought some sun dried prunes amongst other produce direct from growers at market.
The site pool is excellent and in a sun trap - very quiet as in last week of the site's season.
Sewing and cycling Thursday morning.Read more
