Sept 2 - 9, 2009 Eymet - Our bastide 'hometown' is a 45 minute stroll from Petit Rousset past rows of grapevines, fields of sunflowers and meadows of grazing cows.
St. Emilion - A favorite of both medieval popes and English kings. In 1999, it was classed a world heritage site, the first vine-growing area to achieve this status.
Bergerac - the town made famous by the poet-Muskateer, Cyrano. We'll visit the Old Town with its medieval houses. Nearby is the fairy tale Chateau de Monbazillac.
Issigeac - A tiny medieval village, sleepy every day but Market Day when meandering streets and paths burst with activity.
Beaumont - A tiny bastide founded in 1275.
Beynac - We'll visit the chateau at its summit, which sits high atop a cliff dominating the Dordogne River.
Sarlat - Nearly all of Sarlat's restored town houses were built from 1450-1500, its years of greatest prosperity, giving Sarlat a rare architectural unity.
Monpazier - Hailed as the most perfectly preserved bastide in SW France, the 13th century houses, surrounding its market square are identical in size, unique in appearance.
Final Days - St. Cirq Lapopie/ Toulouse. Depart for St. Cirq Lapopie, a magical village, suspended on a cliff with a spectacular view overlooking the river. We'll overnight here and after an early lunch, depart for Grotto du Pech-Merle, one of the finest prehistoric painted caves still open to the public. After our guided visit, we depart for Toulouse airport and/or train station. Onward journeys from Toulouse after 4 pm please.
