    Brantôme, Dordogne

    May 24–26, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    We've spent a couple of days in the very pretty town of Brantôme (known as The Venice of the Perigord), a much loved and favourite place of ours. It never loses its appeal and I'm sure we'll keep visiting whenever we are in this area. We had fabulous weather this weekend, perfect for exploring and relaxing.Read more
