View from the window...

{view of the fabulous garden at the hotel where we had coffee, yesterday}

Yesterday a friend and I spent the day sight seeing in the Dordogne. So many things to see and do including the fabulous Chateau de Lanquais where you can have a medieval banquet or tour the Chateau with candles by night ......



Also visited Tremolat which sits high in the valley of the prehistoric man.....


We even had coffee at a very special hotel ......



where some lucky guests arrive or depart in this.....


All in all, another fabulous day in a fabulous place that am fortune enough to call "home".

  9. Dearest Leeann,

    Looks like a fabulously and fun filled day with your friend in the Dordogne. Funny, somehow a small world since our Dutch friend has wooden homes there for sale; beautiful chalets! http://www.houtenhuis.com
    When we grew up in the South of The Netherlands the saying went: Living like God in France... Well, you are in that perfect spot. Enjoy it and have a Happy and Healthy 2011 with your loved ones!!!

  24. What a lovely day you describe in your beautiful corner of the world. I'm just wondering is having coffee implies having a pastry too? It would for me I'm sure. Love that pic of you! Did you just drop in by helicopter too? xo ~Lili

  25. Tremolat is gorgeous isn't it! We had a wonderful holiday in that part of the Dordogne a couple of years ago and visited all the Chateaux. Have you been to Chateau des Milandes, once the home of Josephine Baker? Your day out sounds wonderful!
