Knowing that this was our last day in Perigord, we were on the road at the crack of 10 to see some of the most beautiful villages and towns that we have missed. First stop was the nearby village of Limeuil at the confluence of the Dordogne and Vezere rivers. We climbed up to top and again were amazed at how cars find there way up and down the narrow, winding lanes.
Next stop was a fair drive to the area of "bastide" towns. The most famous and best preserved is Montpazier where we found the market in full swing in the main square. Time for a nice lunch in the square while the market packed up, and then back to Sarlat, the unofficial capital of Perigord Noir. It is an amazing warren of medieval buildings and lanes in the centre. We all had a great time exploring.
Tonight on the deck we enjoyed our last evening of bread, cheese, olives and a TD special salad while the sun went down over the bridge. Au Revoir Le Bugue.
