    We finished our travelling for the day at the Beau Village of Auvillar where we are staying the night at the foot of the village by the suspension bridge which lit up beautifully at night.
    We had a very steep walk from our parkup into the heart of this truly beautiful place. So much interesting history and so many well preserved buildings and structures.Read more
