A Spontaneous Visit to the Périgord Noir – The Bastide of Domme

We needed a little brake, so we drove to the Périgord, land of truffles and walnuts.

Château de La Rochefoucauld

A visit to yet another castle. Will it ever end?

There are great houses, small houses and family enterprises, all with one goal – to distill the best Cognac.

A magical overnight in a castle.

What’s a flood here and there between friends.

Taking the train to Bordeaux for a truly fabulous celebration.

A White Christmas in Saintes, maybe …

Village préféré or plus belle? Maybe both! Plus a fairy castle in disrepair.

Geraniums galore and half-timbered houses.

Memory lane travels Part II.
