Sunday 11th June Le Blanc to Bouzies

After a very pleasant night we left Le Blanc and headed South in the direction of Cahors, again keeping to the minor roads and through the Dordogne in to the Lot area of France, the scenery was quite beautiful en route.

After a very pleasant night we left Le Blanc and headed South in the direction of Cahors, again keeping to the minor roads and through the Dordogne in to the Lot area of France, the scenery was quite beautiful en route.
Our journey was much faster than we expected and we arrived in Cahors around 1400 hrs and so decided that we would pay a visit to the house we had previously rented in Calvinac, about 35 miles east of Cahors to see if Jock and Eve were still there but found they had left three months earler.
Our plan was to look at the several campsites in the region and pick the most suitable, the first one we looked at was near Calvinac in a place called Larnagol. It was a site we knew from previous visits to the area, it has only 49 placements and is now run by an English couple from Winchester who are also friends of Jock and Eve, small world. Mike was a major car enthusiast and has two of his old cars on site. This site was nice and is also quiet , there are only about a dozen groups on site and so we decided that we would look no further.
We spent the night in a Hotel in Bouzies called La Falaise where we have previously stayed and had an enjoyable meal but the weather was very hot and so difficult to sleep .
