These pictures were taken during our stay in the region locally known as the Périgord. Most people outside France probably know it as the Dordogne.

The pictures on these pages have been shrunken from their original size of 2160x1440, due to space constraints. Mail me if you want a copy of the original pictures.


Two sleeping beauties during our stopover on the way to the Périgord.	Tents pitched on the camping Lac de Veronne, time to relax.

The marketplace in Montferrand au Périgord

Looking up an 18% slope.	Waiting for the car to take us into the Grottes de Lacave.

In the car.	In the first "hall".

Seeing the ceiling mirrored in the water.	Lots of colours over the water.

Walking along the stone waterfall.	Pillars of chalk.

The great hall, with my sisters in front.	Can you see the elephant?

Going down.	And up again.

Looking ino a great hall.	A rockfall frozen in time (for now).

A stalactite and stalagmite, fused over thousands of years.

A stalactite curtain, twisting and turning.	A view of the town of Rocamadour.

The castle of Montfort.	Having a drink in Cadouin.

Cadouin.	The abbey church of Cadouin.

En route to Limeuil.	On the bridge over the river Dordogne near Limeuil.

The same bridge as seen from the village.	The Vézère (from the left) joining the Dordogne.

A street in Limeuil (quite steep, even if it doesn't look like it).	A house next to the church in Limeuil.

Canoers floating down the Dordogne.	Catching some sun in Biron, before visiting the Château.

The Château de Biron.	Rose on the bike.

And there are Megan and Mae.
