These are the final pictures from the Dordogne area as we have now arrived in thre Loire and have not been able to update the blog for a couple of weeks but everything seems ok again now with the wifi. The first pictures are of the chateau milandes the former residence of a famous american ccoloured singer and dancer called Josephine Baker who made her fortune in France in the music halls during the 1930's. She also supported the french resistance during the second world war as she was able to hide information in her music scores. She was given the Legion d'honneur medal in 1961 for her service to the resistance.The picture of Anne with the harris hawk was a a bird of prey show at the chateau.
The other pictures are of us sitting outside the caravan at 11 o clock at night enjoying yet another glass of wine, the swimming pool at the site, and a view across the dordogne river near our pitch, and the last picture is of Beynac taken from our boat trip on the river.
