Rapunzel looking for her man to return from Domme

The distance from Cenac, which is big enough for the basics of café, boulangerie, brasserie, small supermarket etc, is fine. It is a nice walk of less that 25 mins to the village. We are in the hills here and there a plenty of great views of the Dordogne and of Domme.

This area of the Dordogne is full of things for both tourists and for the locals to do in Summer. The place is especially full of Pommies and Dutch baby boomers. A new sign at every turn and another campervan at every bend in the road. The riverside has plenty of great camping grounds with lots of canoes to use on the river. We can imagine what it must be like in summer when the French are here in numbers. So this is a great place for a short visit but not a great area for a second home. The Lot might be less twee and “Postman Pat” but I feel more comfortable there.
