From the Paleolithic to the Middle Ages

We started at Font de Gaume - a site containing some of the last publicly-accesible paleolithic cave paintings. It was most impressive - recommended!

Then, on to Sarlat-la-Canéda, a well-known town in the area. We had a nice lunch there at Le Bistrot: magret de canard grillé avec sa sauce au miel for Susan; omelette de cêpes for Steve. Both came with pommes de terre sarladaises, which are memorable!

After strolling around Sarlat, we drove south to Domme, another bastide town that has a wonderful panoramic view of the Dordogne valley.

Then a quiet late afternoon and evening in Belvès, which is a delightful village. Another lovely day in Aquitaine - 2.5 on the KWS.
