We started off with a walk around Carennac.
|
11:14:56
The little alleyway through which we made our way into the centre of the village.
|
11:15:35
....a bit of a shame about the crane being in several of these shots.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11:16:11
I rather liked this shot of the Cafe de L'Ile Calypso.
|
11:16:59
So that's your actual river Dordogne.
|
11:17:09
One corner of the main cluster of buildings at the centre of the village.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11:17:29
....yes lots of turrets around here.
|
11:18:37
I think I'm going to have a hard time writing comments for all of these pictures!
|
11:18:47
As you can see I'd got pretty snap happy!
|
|
|
|
|
|
11:18:53
I think the sign there suggests this main cluster of buildings is an old priory.
|
11:19:22
In the sort of courtyard inside the priory (?) - definitely something ecclesiastical looking here.
|
11:19:43
A bit difficult lighting here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11:20:27
More turrets abound.
|
11:23:00
Another picturesque part of the village here.
|
11:23:48
I liked the tower on the right hand side - seemingly quite pointless (if you'll pardon the pun). Marvellous.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11:25:12
A few gloriously musty old buildings facing out onto the Dordogne.
|
11:25:33
Facing back over the bridge to the main centre.
|
11:26:21
Another little windy street.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11:26:28
Yet more charming old buildings.
|
11:27:16
This river is presumably a tributary of the Dordogne. I really liked the way the houses were built over it here.
|
11:27:20
The little river again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
11:31:59
The world's slimmest building?
|
11:35:47
Caranyac from a distance. Again, shame about the crane!
|
12:14:17
In St Cere now, and I was quite astounded to see a sign pointing to a restaurant which apparently did Vegtarien food. As it turned out though, the place seemed to have disappeared.
|
|
|
|
|
|
12:17:31
Mum and Keith walking down one of the streets of St Cere.
|
12:43:07
The place we finally settled on for lunch...
|
13:11:09
....great for me as amongst other things there were some pizzes vegtariennes sur le menu.
|
|
|
|
|
|
13:39:52
The outside of the place where we had lunch.
|
13:58:27
The final stop on our day's outing was the rather impressive Chateau Castelnau.
|
14:02:02
...here it is a bit closer up.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14:05:07
It was surrounded with lots of other very nice dwellings.
|
14:05:20
Mum in front of the castle wall.
|
14:06:10
Nice views out over the hills from the top of the mount.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14:06:23
...and in the other direction.
|
14:06:27
One of the castle walls and one of the many quaint little houses nearby.
|
14:06:38
I like the way the inner keep is peeking over the outer walls here. Really nice blue skies too!
|
|
|
|
|
|
14:07:31
An archway.
|
14:08:48
Of course, for any castle to maintain credibility, at least part of it has to be falling down!
|
14:10:01
The church by the castle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14:11:11
More pointy roofs.
|
14:12:12
Mum and a dog.
|
14:12:47
The dog again - very friendly chap he was too.
