The Bastide Area

Following on from Faux, we travelled into the Bastide (medieval) area, firstly stopping at Biron Chateau and then moved on to Monpazier, Belves and La Roque Gageac.  It was a really lovely area in France.

Typical street in Monpazier - our favourite village so far

Stopped for coffee in tabac and caught the local fuzz at their busiest!
