After lunch in Chateau de Lissac, our next stop was a chocolatier – where I finally found our how they made those hollow chocolates (you know like the Easter egg ones or the chocolate bunnies) before heading to our home for the night in a little town called Terrasson. Best part of the evening? Plans … Continue Reading
We are in Dordogne and you know what that means – photo update time. It’s our very first time visiting and now that we’re here, we honestly don’t know what took us so long to visit. Seriously, everyone (back at home) we’ve been speaking to about this area keeps going on about how beautiful the … Continue Reading
Arriving in the Dordogne Valley, I had no idea what to expect. We’d flown in from London after almost two months of travelling, and this time, I’d left most of the planning to Lloyd. I was knackered upon arrival in Brive and slept all the way from the airport until we reached our very first … Continue Reading
And this isn’t some sensationalist title I’m making up, either. The red village of Collonges La Rouge has already been awarded the title of one of the most beautiful villages in France. It is regarded by many as ‘the prettiest’ and is looking to officially cement that with recognition from the French authorities. The title … Continue Reading
Confession time: I’ve never really been a fan of mushrooms. I just find the taste a bit too ‘earthy’ (I typically describe them as tasting like mushy dirt). I can’t honestly tell you why either. In small quantities (e.g. mini pieces on a pizza), I can just about handle them but when you serve up a … Continue Reading

By the time we arrived in Issigeac, we realised (and happily accepted) that France’s Dordogne Valley is filled with some of the most picturesque villages, cities, and towns in the country. We’re talking about places that look like you’re stepping into a French fairytale and is the idea of France that we all dream about … Continue Reading
The Dordogne Valley is arguably one of the most beautiful places to visit in France and one that’s very easily overlooked in favour of more popular parts of France. Even for me, who lives in the UK, the Dordogne Valley is one French region we’d overlooked. That said, until last summer, we finally got to … Continue Reading
Our visit to Martel was rather last minute… We’d no idea where we were initially, only that it was beautiful and that we wanted to spend more time here and so we did! Visiting here, like any good French town (technically, a French commune) is like stepping back in time. It’s all cute French houses, even … Continue Reading
First off, let me start by apologising for how many times I saw “absolutely” in this! 😀 😀 😀 I never even realised it till I was watching this back and thinking “I really need to diversify my vocabulary…” *face palm* That aside though, the Dorodgne Valley in France is absolutely worth all the praised, admiration … Continue Reading
