1001 castles...

To celebrate the last weekend of freedom before Guillaume's job start, we headed 2 and half hours north of Bordeaux to a region called "Perigord Noir" - the black Perigord (named in medieval times when the ruling couple plundered and terrorized the region beyond belief) for a romantic getaway. After a Saturday of sightseeing in caves and castles, we felt ready for a 5-course meal of local specialties - foie gras, prepared in all possible ways, duck breast, duck gizzards ... all the goodies! That made sightseeing on Sunday a little more difficult and slower, but we still managed to see two very famous caves before driving back to Bordeaux, ready for the new challenge!
