Vacances en Dordogne - Day 3 (Part 1)

The sun came out again on our third day, which was perfect as we were going to visit some Hanging Gardens (a long way from Babylon).

On the way we saw a lovely view of Beynac.

We also drove up to Chateau de Castelnaud.  It wasn't open as it was too early in the season but it looks well worth a visit.

We had another view of Beynac when we got to Marqueyssac.

You can also see the Castle of Fayrac in this picture.

If I'm not smiling broadly it's because the hedge was still wet after yesterday's rain and I got a wet (or soggy) bottom.  Later I brushed against the bushes lining the path and my lower paws got wet too.

Just as well it was sunny and the views were lovely.
























Here I am at Le Belvédère right at the top of the hanging gardens. We could see all the places shown on the compass but it was a very long way down!








































Later we drove through the pretty village of La Roque-Gageac to visit Domme (see Part 2).

Just one more thing to say about Marqueyssac - watch out for the peacocks!
