And on to Monbazillac

I
After checking out the start of the time trial in Bergerac and buying out the boutique

We made our way to Monbazillac the home of the sweet desert wine that goes so well with fois gras. It was quiet and calm and the place to get a salade du chef- duck breast two ways. Afterwards we slept it off in the forest surrounding the Chateau de Monbazillac. Lovely with a cool breeze.

What a great view they have.

A visit to the Chateau resulted in the purchase of two half bottles to drink with you know what at Christmas time if they last that long.

Somebody spent hours making thousand of mostly yellow flowers. They were everywhere, on fences, grape vines, hanging on buildings and decorating bikes. They did themselves proud for yesterday's stage.
