The Dordogne - Day 4

Our last day :-(

Barnaby and I enjoyed one last look out of the window before we left.

This sign in the cafe in Le Bugue made me smile. Very true :-)

Le Bugue was a very pretty place and we'd have liked to stay longer.

The Dordogne - Day 3

My little legs were too short to do the steep climb to Le Belvédère with Barnaby but I did get to see the pretty view from another spot.

The Aerial Walkway Platform is where people can tie themselves on and actually walk across the surface of the rock.  I think I'd be too worried about staying on to admire the scenery but Barnaby and I enjoyed the nearby display about the birds and animals in the area.

I also found a chair that was just my size (not!)

The Dordogne - Day 2

The second day of our holiday was rainy and cool so Barnaby and I opted to stay in the lovely cosy cottage while Mummy and Auntie visited Limeuil and Cadouin.

They had lunch at a family-run restaurant opposite the Abbey in Cadouin, finishing with a Cafe Gourmand (literally Coffee Greedy!) which they shared.  It was a coffee and three desserts: a tirimasu (which is actually Italian not French), vanilla ice cream and a moelleux aux chocolat (a bit like a French chocolate brownie).   

Barnaby and I were disappointed they didn't bring any home for us to try.

We did have some lovely local chocolate later though and watched Paddington on DVD so that was all right.

Our French holiday - Sarlat

The people of Sarlat must have known Barnaby and I were coming as they were holding a Chocolate Festival.

 

We voted for our favourite chocolate sculpture and bought some delicious florentines to have later.

They also had nougat at the Chocolate Festival so we tried some of that too.


















Later we saw a shop selling massive pieces.

No that isn't a round of cheese - it's a round of nougat!

That could keep me going for a whole year but Mummy wouldn't let me have any as it would make my fur too sticky (and your dentist probably wouldn't recommend it either).
