Eymet is a charming medieval village in the south of the Dordogne department. It is a bastide town laid out in a grid format but unusually for these towns has a castle in the centre.

Have you been to the magical cave of Grotte du Grand Roc near Les-Eyzies? It contains thousands of the rare tiny stalactites called excentriques which grow in all directions!

Lots of places in the Dordogne come to life after Easter. In the meantime if you are looking for a day out head to Saint-Emilion. There is lots to see all year round. And lots of great wine to sample!

A drive along the Dordogne valley is beautiful even in winter. Be sure to look out for a view of the impressive Chateau de Montfort near Domme.

Must put this one in my diary for next year. It was a really lovely setting for a plant fair. Sadly missed the bike parade. :(

Cadouin is the beautiful setting for a plant fair on Thursday (8th) all day. At around 3pm there will be a parade of bikes decorated with flowers. (Must be a new thing this year because there is a parade of decorated bikes tomorrow along the river at Bergerac at 11.30am). http://www.northofthedordogne.com/cadouin.php
