Bergerac Cathedral (?)

Apologies...I really should take better notes!
This is either Bergerac Cathedral or a VERY BIG CHURCH in the main square!

Blogger post 800

Thank you to everyone who's read my dad's 800 posts since he retired.
I'm still here - getting older (17 now!) but still keeping him company.
Back to France for posting 801 next...
BYE !

HPB Constant - local walk

There are many walks around the property, many of which are on mountain bike trails (we didn't see any mountain bikes!)
On one of our walks we came across this chapel...
