We are in Bergerac, home of the legendary comic hero Cyrano de Bergerac and important wine trading port on the Dordogne. Bergerac grew rich over 7 centuries of shipping wine down to Bordeaux.
We stayed at camping La Pelouse which is on the opposite bank to the old town, and just downstream of this bridge, which takes you over to the town in about ten minutes.

The Wednesday market in the Place Gambetta. Everything from ceps (look to be half eaten already) to violins, and legs.
We took a trip on a Gabarre, a replica of the sailing barges which carried wine down to Bordeaux, and wood for the wine casks from the mountains of the Auvergne.
Riverside Birds
Checking for Catfish.
Rambling about Europe with the Kray Twins (Colin and Penny).
Travels with Mavis 
At first I thought it was a statue of Peter – the nose was a clue. But then I remembered that Peter’s sword is not that long.
You’re soooooooo mean!!
Fabulous photos Peter, thanks yet again, Jim
