I have to admit to being a bit of a lover of all things French: the food, the wine, the country.  So I always ensure the Hubby and I spend at least one holiday a year in France discovering different areas each time.  However, dare I admit it, it wasn’t until recently that we had our first foray in to the Dordogne region.  Okay, it’s certainly not undiscovered and definitely not a place to go to if you want to avoid the tourists but, what an absolute gem; with pristine medieval villages, castles, rolling hills and the Dordogne river snaking through the valley, it definitely looks like a place where fairy tales are made.

Needless to say, with such a photographic location we have lots of pictures and I thought I’d share a few of them with you so you too can experience the delights of the Dordogne – they might even inspire you to visit if you haven’t already.
