Lot Valley

Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux

The castle was restored - and lived in - by the 19th century opera-singer Jean Mouliérat







The Dordogne
 Maisy started off with them but changed her mind half way and we had to find a way
down to the river bank to rescue her 


                                        
                                        Rocamadour




                                              Prehistoric Park, La Cave 

 
Near Rocamadour  – For the family especially if you are a dinosaur fan. Walk through a forest spread over several hectares (pushchair friendly) and walk back into the past with life size dinosaurs around every corner. A great fun trip with the chance for a photo in a dinosaur’s mouth at the end 




After the park we went and visited a shop full of chocolate where you could taste before buying, chocolate heaven

                                                                                                                                                                                             

    
Figeac Medieval Town

This is in the village of Cornac where we were staying a village of artists, around each corner you would find artwork like this on each building and we were staying next door to an amazing sculpturer this was in the garden next to us

Book Recommendations

I have just got back from a lovely week in the Lot Region in France and managed to read a couple of books that I really enjoyed
First one  A Thistle in the Mist by Megan Denby, there are quite a few swear words really rude one but if you can get past this then a fabulous read, this lady has a brilliant imagination





The second one is What the heart keeps by Rosalind Laker


What the Heart Keeps




I found these on a site for free books for kindle but I am afraid they are no longer free but you can find more here at www.dailyfreebooks.com
Happy reading
