Sarlet-la-Caneda Sojourn 9/17

Rewarded by a beautiful ville after a train ride into the Dordogne valley. It’s a small enough cite that arrival at the train station finds us without taxi options to get into the historical centre we’ll be staying in. So……. a mile into town on foot with baggage! Perhaps our first “Lucy”! But as the trip was downhill it felt good to move and we treated ourselves to Aperol Spritz and a gorgeous charcuterie planchette unique to this region upon arrival to the Plaza Madeleine. Mary and I stayed here once before and remember it as an indulgent stay on our 2010 trip, but it is more luxuriant now and we’re staying several days!

And just to prove I’ve eaten something other than dessert……. Which is not to imply I didn’t have dessert…….

An excellent gazpacho prelude to the meal! (Which is of course the “entre” here to confuse you when choosing your “plat” or main!).
