Bree and Stuart visited at the end of their three week European holiday. For them, Domme's slower pace was a good way to relax before heading home to face the demands of work.
Together, we marvelled at the wonderful produce and spectacle of the Sarlat markets. In particular, the pomme de terre et cepes (potatoes, mushrooms pan fried in duck fat and garlic), and the freshest, sweetest strawberrys, were most memorable. Cultural persuits were not ignored; we visited the International Pre-History Interpretative Centre, followed by a visit to the Sorcerer's Cave, where Paleolithic 19,000 year old rock etchings by man of man have been discovered.

A picnic dinner at the Chateau Marqueyssac Gardens with thousands of candles and live music was a fairytale-like evening, and the drive to Cohors with Bill's "Sebastien Loeb" driving (necessary to keep up with the French and the Dordogne terrain) certainly got our adrenalin pumping.
But the best times were the wonderful conversations creatively nourished by the ambience and offerings of the Dordogne.
