A day in the Dordogne then. Only went about 12 miles to Chateaux Biron just over the border into the Dordogne then a ride to the Bastide villages of Villereal followed by lunch in Monpazier. 24 hours of Bastide villages and thats enough for me. Boring. 
Weather has been reasonably pleasant but I'm just not feeling it here. We used to love the Dordogne many years ago so will give it a chance. Hopefully ill get the Kayak out or hire one when we get to the Dordogne or Vezere rivers.
I think after so many weeks doing exciting mountain stuff, epic rides etc which is pretty much all I like to do these days it feels a bit dull. On the plus side at Villereal market I got the best piece of ripe Brie de Meaux I have ever had on this entire trip to France so there is that.
Just debating whether to fit in some coast on the way back to the UK, drive straight up through the Loire or the curve ball head east a bit up the Massif Central to Auvergne and the Morvan regional park in Burgundy for a few more mountains (Well hills in Burgundy) before coming back up round the eastern side of Paris. Providing the bike keeps going we will head to Dorset and Devon now on our return to the UK I think.
