22/04 - Farewell Sarlat


We get up super early for a train to Bordeaux. Extra effort is required to tour France's remote countryside.

20/04 - Sarlat Dinner


How could I leave out the photos of our dining experience of our first night in Sarlat? After a full day on the road, we were welcomed by the pre-arranged dinner at the hotel. We had the two local specialties: duck fillets and foie gras as the main course.

21/04 - Sarlat la Caneda


Sarlat, our base in the Dordogne, is a charming medieval town filled with restaurants and Foie gras shops. A late afternoon stroll in the town centre provided a perfect closure for our day, after the exciting visit at Lascaux.

20/04 - Lyon to Sarlat


It was a long day of train rides. We took the risk of numerous train changing to speed to Sarlat-la-Caneda of Dordogne in one day. Our original plan involved 3 train changes. However, due to a train breakdown, we ended up changing trains 4 times, and spent more than 13 hours on the road before reaching Sarlat at 21:00. Our route was as follow: Lyon to Montpellier, Montpellier to Toulouse, Toulouse to Agen, Agen to Le Buisson, Le-Buisson to Sarlat.
