Having company at the Chatette is always an adventure. I've learned over the years that it's important to be honest about the pace of life here, that I'm on the bus and don't have a car, have no television, and that it is a very laid back time. There's no doubt that travel style and match are just as important here as if you were traveling with someone to Paris.
Vicki and I set out yesterday to do St. Cirq Lapopie and took the beautiful route that the bus takes along the Lot River to get there.
As soon as we saw Calvignac hanging from the sheer cliff on the other side of the River, Vicki wanted to stop.
That was fun for me because when I'm on the bus, there's no stopping unless I want to get off, wander and wait for the next bus home. What fun to be able to make stops along the way. We even had a conversation about how some people REFUSE to do anything like that. I find that you're lucky if they let you take a bathroom break. So, yesterday morning was Calvignac, La Toulzanie and St. Cirq Lapopie!
Vicki was particularly intrigued by the troglodyte houses that are built into the cliffs in La Toulzanie! Interestingly, the birds do it too!
Pictures all along the way...lunch in St. Cirq Lapopie and a quick coffee later that afternoon in Tour de Faure with Jean-Luc and Odile.
We've planned a picnic and a wandering day for us today. Sundays are good for that AND Lucie is going to come along.
Happy Sunday to ALL!
So pleased you enjoyed it so much-I'm a very spoiled girl! Love to you-Laury and Sammie Cat

The dancing sunlight on the water, the moss, the cliffs, and the lone flower are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
