Brantome & Bourdeilles

Morning market, finally! We spent a lovely day at Brantome market. Brantome is an short hour from here, in northern Dordogne, and known for its market. It was a fairly miserable day to start, which probably helped us getting a place to park. Brantome is called the 'la Venise du Périgord', which is actually kind of silly, but it was very pretty with the River Drone running through it, some pretty bridge scenes, etc. The market was fun, there is a very interesting looking Abbey, many caves into the cliff sides, very ‘Dordogne’ that way. I really got my market fix, which was long overdue. We then went on to Bourdeilles for a nice lunch and a super wander around. Very pretty village, nice garden complete with some caves we would have loved to explore.  We went back to Brantome this past week for a fabulous concert of The Gregorian Voices; really, really good.
