Entry from: Siorac-en-Périgord, France
Entry Title: A sybaritic week in P
Entry:
As I am sure I mentioned before - this trip to Dordogne happened to be possible thanks to a wonderful dinner hosted by our friends Sharon and Tim in San Francisco...
their company is always delightful, and that particular dinner was no exception - the mood was light and happy, the food was great, the wine was flowing, everyone was having an amazing time...that's when someone suggested on a spur of the moment that maybe one day we should all go to Bordeaux for some wine tasting...
one day came a year later, the original number of people who wanted to go shrank to only four, Bordeaux became Dordogne, but who cares about the details :)
anyway, we agreed upon dates, Sharon found a château to rent in a village by the name of Siorac-en-Périgord, and off we went...
Siorac-en-Périgord is about 2 or 3 hour drive from Bordeaux...so we agreed to meet in Bordeaux: we would take TGV from Paris, and Tim and Sharon - who were coming from London - would rent a car in the airport and pick us up at the train station...
we had a curious encounter at a little café near the train station where we sat down to have a glass of wine while waiting for our friends to arrive...we were talking in Russian between ourselves, and our waitress asked us if we were from Russia...turned out that she - although couldn't speak or understand Russian (or English for that matter) - could still identify the sound of Russian tongue because her husband happened to be Russian...she wasn't busy, so we started talking, one thing lead to another, and she ended up inviting us to meet her family the next day (when she would be off) and gave us her phone number...she was very sweet, and I honestly hoped we would meet, but at that time I didn't realize how far away from Bordeaux we would be staying...hope she forgives us for not calling to meet her and her family...
anyway, Tim and Sharon picked us up at this little café and after a couple of hours of driving and only one or two missed turns (but hey! who am I to complain - fortified by wine, I was relaxing in the back of the car while they had to navigate unfamiliar roads while driving stick shift!) we finally reached our destination...
the house we stayed at called Château du Marquis ( il.aspx?Catalog=12322 )
turned out to be amazing although huge for just the four of us...it was four stories tall, but we all ended up staying on the 3rd floor (or - if you don't count the ground floor - on the 2nd floor)... it had its charm though, just like Siorac-en-Périgord - the little town where it was located...
Siorac-en-Périgord is one of many quaint little towns in the part of Dordogne known as Périgord Noir...this region stretches through the valleys of two rivers - Dordogne and Vézère and is known for its beauty - ancient castles and medieval towns, dense oak woods, cliffs along the riverbeds, emerald valleys with groves of walnut trees...
the region is also known by prehistoric caves - numerous in this area...the world-famous Lascaux cave with its unique cave paintings of Paleolithic period is located here, in Montignac...we did consider visiting Lascaux but decided against it...mainly because the cave is sort of closed to the public...
I am saying sort of because - although the real cave is indeed ...
