Day 36 22/6 Domme to Azay Le Rideau in the Loire Valley
(Notes again kindly donated by Noeline and Dale)
Today we drove from Domme in the Dordogne region to Azay Le Rideau in the Loire valley. Travelling through Sarlat, around Perigueux and Angdulems into the Loire region.
Today we left Domme but had to wait until the laundrette opened and once
Maritta emerged with a smile from ear to ear carrying her bag of fresh clean
clothes -what a luxury- we were on our way. Today we drove from Domme in the Dordogne region to Azay Le Rideau in the Loire valley. Travelling through Sarlat, around Perigueux and Angdulems into the Loire region.

Lovely 12/50 friendly road leaving Dodogne |
There is a notable difference in architecture but mainly a complete difference in the color of the stone. In the Dordogne area the stone is a warm golden sand colored stone with red/brown terracotta or stone roofs. In the Loire valley the stone is a stark white/pale grey with dark grey or black slate for the roofs.
The grey / white stone is distinctive in Loire region |

Very artistic people, taking the photo of Mike's car in the rear view mirror!!! very clever.
ReplyDeleteDear Harry, Thanks Harry - surprised you noticed but we needed to get the pictures any way we could especially Mike's 12/50 as he is always racing ahead and it was hard to get a front shot. Regards Maritta
