These are the gardens of a chateau high up on a rocky outcrop
 

Impressive topiary

Bergerac 2

A building undergoing restoration in the market square.
I think they should leave it like that!
 

One of the hundreds of market stalls
 

 

 

Lunch!
 

Bergerac Cathedral (?)

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

Church in one of the many squares
 

With this strange balcony
 

Statue of Cyrano de Bergerac in the same square
 

Tremolat

Unfortunately this church is no longer used so we couldn't venture inside

Health and safety!
 

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 !

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...
