Back in La France

We are back in the country that we love. After landing at Toulouse, and getting a lift up to Senaillac-Lauzes, near Cahors, we were re-acquainted with this beautiful part of France.


The rolling hills and limestone gorges, and the fields of poppies. June is a lovely time of year here, everything is flowering, the hotter sun of the summer yet to dry everything up.













We were treated to views of chateaux and little medieval villages, clinging to the hillsides,






















with the Lot river rushing though the valleys. The architecture in these parts has very steep roofs and are made from creamy limestone, a bit like Cotswold stone. Every village is very picturesque.
