My driving\u2019s come on since then, a bit anyway.

On first impressions yup, it\u2019s got the usual \u2018main street\u2019 run of overpriced local produce shops (tins of confit de canard and foie gras at three times the going rate, cheap-but-expensive imported pottery and metal wall-ware). At this time of year though the car parks are empty, literally for those the petit train would normally shuttle to and from. And that makes all the difference. It\u2019s calm, quiet. The views out to the north take in a great swathe of Dordogne country, wooded hills looking like they\u2019re sporting a tight green afro, cut into cliffs where the river meanders.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18561\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05242.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18561\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18561\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05242-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"View of the Dordogne as it meanders north west to Beynac.\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05242-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05242-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05242-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05242-70x53.jpg 70w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05242.jpg 1469w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View of the Dordogne as it meanders north west to Beynac.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Enjoyable, much helped by the total absence of clouds, just tiny streaks of white behind jet aircraft, like frozen streaks of shooting stars. One end of the town has a small park-in-the-sky, where we got chatting with Barry and Paula. \u201cQuite some view eh?\u201d I tested the water on hearing their English. \u201cOh yes, even after ten years living out here\u201d Barry replied. The conversation picked up and as they strolled with a slowness we\u2019ve yet to attain, they explained how they\u2019d ended up out here after winning a trip to visit the place. Events sped up. They rented initially, finding a place by accident as the landlady just happened to be in the estate agent when they turned up to start their search. Ten months later they\u2019d fallen for the place, sold up in Ireland and moved here. Not just changing country, but changing jobs too, from shop owners\/property managers to self-employed landscaping. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how you can pick up new skills, the language isn\u2019t a problem either after a bit of wine!\u201d Barry and Paula both impressed us mightily with their can-do attitude. \u201cYou should see it here in summer, the river\u2019s like the M1, packed solid with canoes, I kid you not\u201d. Maybe I\u2019d have written the same Rough Guide entry if I\u2019d come here in August then!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18562\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05264.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18562\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18562\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05264-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Flowers in the graveyard on All Saints Day.\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05264-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05264-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05264-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05264-70x53.jpg 70w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/DSC05264.jpg 1469w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flowers in the graveyard on All Saints Day.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ju\u2019s checked the forecast and it\u2019s looking like our run of fab weather might be ending.
