More Dordogne












In the Dordogne I visited St-Cirq-Lapopie, reminiscent of the village in Hot Fuzz: it is publicised as one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France and doubltess has an efficient service for keeping itself pure. It was charming if also a trifle overwhelming.
Back near my base in Montignac, I visited the village of Fanlac, which is advertising a “world fête” on 26 May 2012—reminiscent of Billy Connolly's World Tour of Scotland. There were fresh flowers on a memorial to members of the Resistance shot by Nazis.
Inspired by Jack Aubrey, I took to the waters again, this time in a hired canoe on the River Vézère. Among others I passed the Château de Losse.
