Sue, Alex, Peter & I had a lovely day out the other day. We went to ‘les Grottes de Villars’, caves which are about 40 minutes from here. They are spectacular caves, amazing formations dating back millennia. There are some visible cave paintings, from Cro Magnon times, about 19,000 years ago. The caves were only discovered in the 1950s and were awesome. We then drove on and saw the Chateau Puyguilhem, (a lovely castle which Peter will visit with his mum & sister when they visit later this month) and some amazing ruins dating back to the 1100s of the Abbeye de Boschaud. It still stuns me to find such massive, amazing ruins, over 800 years old, in the middle of a farmers’ fields. Gorgeous.
