TdF Day 15 - Dordogne at last

Another nice breakfast had us ready for the trip into the Dordogne. First stop was the town of Angouleme, where each year they run a car race around the ramparts of the old town. It is car lovers heaven, and Tour Director had added it to the itinerary for Make it up Mick to enjoy. It wasn't enough time for him to take it all in as cars kept coming into town for the race on Sunday. The quality and age of the cars was unbelievable and even us non petrol heads couldn't help but be impressed.
We dragged Mick reluctantly away to find lunch in Brantome, a beautiful town on our way to Le Bugue. This time the girls were reluctant to leave. Thankfully the Tour Director had a final offering to the Pelaton - our house for the week overlooking the River Vezere in La Bugue. Another PB was achieved as we sat on the deck watching the sun go down over the bridge before a stroll through our new home town.
