Menu Dominicale: Hearty fare in Saint Cyprien
The largest weekly market in our area of the Dordogne takes place in Sarlat, but the second-largest market is probably more enjoyable — if only because it’s more manageable. It’s held each Sunday in Saint Cyprien, about 25 kilometres north … Continue reading
Our beautiful lending laundrette
Don’t hold your breath while you search for a good English-language book store in or around Daglan. You might locate an English-language newspaper and the occasional English magazine, but books are hard to come by. When we were visiting Daglan … Continue reading

Weekly and twice-weekly markets are a feature of French village life, and we all have our favourites. For us, the two stand-outs are in nearby Cénac (on Tuesdays) and not-too-far Cazals (on Sundays). Daglan’s own market (also on Sundays) is … Continue reading

Cyclist down! Emergency on the D60
It was seeming like a bit of a wasted afternoon. After a pleasant Saturday lunch (in Belvès), we had driven all the way to Monpazier for an appointment with a photographer, so he could take a passport photo for my … Continue reading
