Bon Voyage, Monsieur Guy!

This past Friday, found us travelling the roads to Bergerac to deliver Monsieur Guy in time for for his flight to Charleroi, Belgium.
After a fine send off with a "Ricard" toast for a safe trip, we three ... Monsieur Honey, Madame M  and myself started our return trip to Dégagnac.


                              

Madame M suggested a visit / stop in Monbazillac.
The Château de Monbazillac built in the 16th century is listed as a Historical Monument, and here you will see original architecture from the defensive styles of the Middle Ages and also early Renaissance design. 
The wine cooperative,  Monbazillac Cellar Company has owned the Château since 1960.
The terraced gardens offer amazing panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and the Dordogne Valley.















   
    " Okay Ladies... what's next? "






Next stop on our road trip ... Chateau Biron near Monpazier.
Château de Biron is also listed as a Historical Monument and described as an outstanding architectural site from the 12th to 18th centuries.













  Our "Molly" the GPS directed us through some beautiful scenery on the drive home...


    Last stop for some sustenance at ...
    Restaurant La Casserole
    33 Rue Haute
    46340 Salviac
    Tel. 0565 415787



    Great tasting bowl of hot homemade soup... 
    Creamy asparagus! 


    Gambas ...supremely yummy!


    Chicken with mushroom sauce... Delicious!

    1. Thank you Miek...
      Having so many great photos to choose from makes it difficult to decide which ones to use as "postcards"!
      And as always great adventures always provide great photo opportunities.
