Day 52 Saturday 10th July:
We followed directions to “Cingle de Trmolat” but somehow lost the photo opportunity! Drove on to Cadouin, Le Buisson, Saint Cryprien and Beynac – lunch in the shade at Vezac. The two towering fortresses (Beynac and Castlenaud) face one another alonge this section of the Dordogne. Many medieval movies have been shot in this area.
After another two fortresses we decided on Domme (pictured above) for our stop after passing La Roque Gogeac where there was no shade.
Domme is a beautiful medieval village founded in the 1200s and built on a high cliff overlooking the Dordogne River and plains. The setting provided spectacular vistas as well as being a popular tourist/restaurant area.
Still very hot tonight – 28.5 oC at 9.30 pm. Mad text – Cats beat the Hawks by 2 points – the important things in life!
