Travel Dordogne France Part 1
so exciting to get to France, get our lease car and hits the roads travelling directly to Dordogne. We have a house booked in the quaint old village of Sergeac, near the breath takingly beautiful St Leon sur Vezere. I compiled this video within the first 5 days, overwhelmed by the chateaus and the history. Cold Play's 'La Vida Loca' summed up my thoughts about medieval rulers and how they could be powerful one day and gone the next. Villages that had us in awe: Tamnies, Thonac, Biron, Auriac du Perigord, Montignac Brantome and too many to mention
Hot Air Ballooning in Dordogne, France
Spend a morning flying high above Dordogne, France in a hot air balloon. Calm and quiet as you drift across beautiful landscape with castles appearing through the morning mist. Magical!

Sarlat, Dordogne, France
Vibrant medieval town, full of character, especially on market day.

château de Langoiran (castle of Langoiran)
The seigneurial domain of Langoiran used to be one of the most prestigious and powerful elements in the duchy of Aquitaine. It was involved in the fights between the kings of France and the kings of England during the 100 years war.
Built by the Escoussan family, the Langoiran Castle was one of the most prestigious sites in the region.
In the centre of the struggles between the Kings of England and France, the castle became the property of the french Royal Family at the end of the 15th century, after which the presidents of the Bordeaux Parliament lived there from the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th.

Church Bells During the Sunday Farmers' Market in Auvergne, France
I am making an exception here and posting this clip on YouTube -- it already exists on Dailymotion under LisaFalour. I do two channels on YT: CUTECATFAITH and SLOBOMOTION. I try not to duplicate anything among the three places.
I think this clip will fit in with this channel okay, however, and I hope you like it!

Since we were headed for a vacation in the Lubéron region of France and that is very far from where we live in Paris, my Parisian spouse chose Murol in Auvergne as a stopping point for a week. Yay! The high altitude here does affect your health, so plan and drink a lot of water.
This church is Romanesque in style and 12th c. Aren't the bells lovely? We had just missed the Mass, which I would have liked to attend, but we then toured the church. This town is known for spas and a special type of cheese, Saint-Nectaire.
The market was not huge and I recognized some of the vendors in other villages later in the week. It was nice to say hi to them! I got a lot of fresh food here for about five euros, but I regret I did not buy more rosé wine from a local family! It was less than 2 euros per bottle, a Gamay, and was the best I have ever had. This region is in central France and there are many volcanoes, castles and spas here, and it is superb for sports in Summer and Winter! This church features the flower of life motif and is one of about five in the region which are considered hugely important, architecturally. No one is sure about the origins of this place, which has a lot of pagan and Roman origins. This part of France is especially family-friendly. Despite the dangerous terrain, I saw many babies and toddlers, all fine. Pets are also generally welcome.
If you want some help dealing with France, I can advise. I do charge, but it's all declared.
One negative note: food prices around this area can be a little high. If you rent a furnished place here, as we did, you might want to pack and take some basic supplies. Most things in supermarkets here started at 4 euros per item! We are talking a box of generic ... breakfast cereal? I don't eat that, but hey!
I really liked the people of this area, and I often do not take well to the French. Les Auvergnats tend to be talkative, open, honest and show a lot of solidarity, even if you are a stranger. Perhaps it is the terrain. I don't know. I did note a difference in this region, however, and so did my spouse. If you speak French, you can definitely gab around here! And find out everything!
