    Our stopover is at the village aire in Saint Capraise de Lalinde. We are a stone's throw from the canal which runs alongside the Dordogne river. We had a lovely evening walk along the canal bank and a chat with a very nice elderly local lady who by chance had a pocket full of dog biscuits ......someone was delighted!
    Our aire is provided free once again; we are very grateful to the communities who extend such a warm welcome to travelling visitors.    Read more
