Bergerac
I had a comfortable flight over to Paris and enjoyed the train rides to Bergerac, particularly the local express from Bordeaux, which passed many verdant vineyards such as the famous Saint-Émilon on the way. Bergerc is the largest town in the Nouvelle-Aqitaine region and sits on the wide, slowly flowing Dordogne river. I spent my first day strolling around the ancient town with its lovely old buildings and narrow streets. Each town in France invariably has a spectacular church and the rather austere Neo-Gothic Eglise Notre-Dame with its 60 metre tall bell tower and spire was no exception. More tomorrow.
Merci Dee. Enjoy the ride!
