By Monday, the weather had become quite ugly and cold. There were several deaths in Brittany and in the South due to the bad weather which was covering all of France and we had to light the fire in the gite to keep warm. We did venture out to visit Castelnau Chateau on Sunday and then Beynac and Sarlat on the Monday. The visits were okay but quite depressive in the cold damp weather. This was on Monday when a lot of shops are shut, compounded as this was also Pentacost and 6 out of 10 French workers were expected to take the day off; (even though it is no longer a public holiday) their third long weekend in May!!! Even so, Sarlat is a great little medieval town with a nice feel about it. The coffee and cake went down quite well before we headed home for dinner and a fire.
