The Journey from Martel to the Sea at Guéthary, exploring Basque Country..

Martell:Guéthary;St Pée-sur-Nirvelle : France July 2018 We decided in the morning it was time to move on and explore another region.

Meyssac, Collonges-La-Rouge, Turenne – no Meyssac, Merci – we discover more pretty Villages

Collonges-La-Rouge, Meyssac Leaving Argentat without a real plan…we thought we might stop in at Collonges-la-Rouge and see what all the fuss is about.

Temple-sur Lot – but only if you speak French

Temple-sur-Lot:Aquitaine France July 2018 Yesterday I had seen so many fields of sunflowers but all pointing in the wrong direction.
