We arrived at Chateau de la Treyne and it has been magical. Although this morning (Sun) we went for an aimless drive and ended up at a grand restaurant for lunch discussing furniture goals which made us both a little miserable.

Last night at the castle was truly magical. After checking out our room we wandered around the grounds for a while. The sunset over a hill while we were on the banks of the river was a moment of true peace. Bill used the jetted tub while I did a little yoga. We then dined in the castle’s restaurant which was wonderful. We had the same things, a languistine risotto followed by a wild duck and sour cherry dish. Delicious desserts – a tarte citron with tea ice cream and a sable aux figues with banana ice cream. Great coffee, decafeine pour moi. We took a lovely walk outside in the brilliant but chilly moonlight which was perfectly framed over the well coiffed garden. We watched as a plane left a band of smoke that was illuminated right over our heads. Then, we had some armagnac (62 & 64) when the power went out. After looking quite pathetic, we were finally offered a bougie, a word Bill couldn’t rememeber, for our room. Tres romantique.
Siteseeing in the Dordogne included Rocamadour. Below, Bill makes his way down the ramparts of a fortress above the town of Rocamadour.
