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".

p.s. have lots of new goodies for the Fab French shop which should start appearing later this week!

    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!!!

    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

    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!
