Camping in France
I am sooooo looking forward to Wednesday and setting off for France, I have really missed our camping trips. Here is some information about an earlier trip we did to the Dordogne area. (Yes I know it's overrun with Brits, but you can avoid them if you try). We stayed near Sarlat which is wonderful in the summer, full of buskers, music, cafe life and warm, warm nights. Well worth a trip, and the local food specialities are great. Now I'm not very sporty, but even I could manage a canoe trip down the Dordogne. The canoes are the Canadian sort where you sit up on high seats and paddle, just like the movies of the Rockies. We even had to rescue someone who was in the water, which involved some tricky manouvers by my husband while I sat on the bottom of the boat getting a very wet bottom! But the views from the river were great, giving a whole new perspective. Another must see is Rocamadour, a spectacular village that cascades down a cliff face, I can't imagine what building it
