Week two

Vendée (Noirmoutier and Marais Poitevin) → Dordogne  → heading South towards the Pyrenees – next week on to Spain!

The visit to Sarlat and Groléjac was a trip down memory lane for me (Tom) – I worked for the summer after my second year of university (2005) at Camping les Granges in Groléjac, working for Canvas Holidays mostly cleaning tents and mobile homes. I used to cycle along the bike path to Sarlat once a week to check my email at the internet cafe! (Canvas Holidays is now defunct, the campsite no longer hosts tents, just mobile homes – and of course internet cafes are long gone – but Sarlat and the Dordogne are still as spectacular as ever).
