La Roque-Gageac

We were up early to say goodbye to Nick and Greg with some croissants for breakfast. Dane, Grace and I walked down to see some sunflowers. We looked at the little market in town before heading back for some pool time.
We had a lunch feast of copious amounts of cheese and salami with sparkling wine. Mum and I wandered through the town checking out shops before heading to the pool to escape the heat! We had Aperol Spritz and champagne by the pool before having dinner on the balcony. Sadly it's time to pack up and leave this magical place that we've called home.En savoir plus

We did a short walk to town to check out the Tour de France set up and the souvenirs. Breakfast was our favorite croissants!! We hung the sign from the balcony - "Go Richie". We also hung all the flowers we'd made on the balconies.
The first excitement for the day was the parade of caravans coming through town. It was lots of fun! There was big floats and vans playing loud music and throwing out free things (junk). We tried to catch as much as we could.
Lunch was another feast of fresh baguettes, cheeses, salamis, mussels and nachos.
There was a lot of excitement with helicopters flying overhead and then the race came through. We all stood on the balcony with our sign up, madly waving at the helicopter. After we ran down and saw the last of the support cars pass through.
Dad and Greg went and cut down some of the Tour de France signs. We looked back at the television footage and saw that we had made it on the TV! We also heard from people back in Melbourne that they saw us waving. It was very exciting for us all!
We had a feast of ribs and vegetables for dinner! We sat in the sitting room and did the quiz before heading to bed.En savoir plus
