We then are on our way, over the Dordogne and on to the gorgeous ancient town of Sarlat, rather busy this Sunday morning with sightseers.The weather has now settled comfortably into the 20s with a light breeze. Our destination is Brive-la-Gaillarde, a very big town, so we are so glad to be navigating our way through on a Sunday. Our WS hosts live in the older area, their large, 3 storey house, typically French with its high ceilings and shuttered windows, set in a big garden with room for their fruit trees and veggie patch as well as shady patio and bike store. There is even a wine cellar. Next door is an enormous handsome church, the bells peeling for evening mass when we arrive.
We are greeted by son Octave and daughter Matilde, with Mum Frederique (a surprising name to us for a lady) and Dad Benoit, soon returning from a bike ride. They are both great cooks so we enjoy a lovely evening meal outside. When first married they were living and working in Senegal a former French colony, so it was interesting to learn about their time there.
