A short local tour

We went for a drive yesterday without expecting too much because as is typical on most French holidays in the winter months, the majority of small local cafés and restaurants would be sure to be closed. And indeed they were.

We drove via St Cyprien to the small medieval hilltop town of Belvès where there was hardly a soul to be seen outdoors. It was the first time I’d been there (although I snapped it from the air a while ago) and I found it rather disappointing.

We then decided to head back via Sarlat and on the way passed by the Château de Beynac perched high up on its clifftop overlooking a wide bend in the River Dordogne.

As things were so quiet, we then headed back home for a cup of coffee and a last slice of Christmas cake, which we consumed in front of my wood burner. A perfect end to the afternoon 😉
