This morning we left efficiently and to start off with the traffic was easy to get out of the city. However, as we approached getting onto the motorway there was a huge traffic jam - after 30 minutes of very slow movement, we managed to be the first car to get through when the whole accident issue was solved. Of course, Craig was excellent - always impressed with his driving. Onto the motorway which proved to be expensive tolls - but the roads in France are MUCH better than Italy/Sicily and even the UK. After a couple of hours, we made it to our first very pretty rural village - Montignac-Lascaux. We had a very pretty walk around. Unfortunately, it had been raining all morning and was still spitting here but we did stop for a coffee and crepe. I chose the one that had 'strawberries' but unfortunately it was jam, not fruit. Not to my liking. Back to the car and onto Sarlat-la-Caneda. What a very beautiful town this was with a medieval centre and many pretty buildings. This all meant it was also quite touristy. Certainly worth seeing but not good to spend money in. Czytaj więcej
