Promenade around a beautiful village
It might be early winter here in the Dordogne but that doesn’t mean we have to hibernate. The local towns and villages are just as pretty as we may remember in the summer but they take on a different hue and are just as pleasant to visit in these cooler seasons.

Perigueux – 12 May
Promenade du Canal & The River Isle
We’d had a busy morning, Jeff painting the house windows & shutters and I’d been jet-washing the terraces we decided we needed to go for a walk. We didn’t really fancy a ‘countryside walk’ but something different so we headed into the city of Perigueux.

Lisle – 2nd Attempt – 3rd May
Right, Jeff’s foot is recovering well after his ‘bunion’ operation (don’t tell him I called it a bunion – technically it wasn’t but it’s easier than explaining what it really was) and so we ventured out for a little walk around Lisle. I say ‘little’ with tongue in cheek, it was about 12 km [...]

A lovely crisp sunny day in January so I dragged Jeff out for a little walk. I didn’t have the map for this walk, just decided to follow the ‘yellow posts’. It’s been a while since we did the walk but I think I remember the notice board in Lisle’s centre ville saying [...]

Sorry I haven’t posted for some time and also for only just getting around to posting these shots taken last November.

(Sunday 1st June – 10.2 km/3hr, 30m)Segonzac is approximately a 15 minute drive (15 km) via Douchapt from La Treille. I know it has been a while since I last posted and I know I’m going to be rusty for this walk. Our gite business season started early this year and so [...]
