Thursday 26th May 2022 Sarlat to Chateau De Fenelon to Rocamadour


 Sarlat is a lovely town but quite tourist focused 


20 k cycle ride there and back on the outskirts of Sarlat  on this disused railway line green route felt like a good outcome for me on my electric bike 


Canoe companies abound  on every river 


The Chateau de Fenelon is  a short distance from Sarlat and has a huge gatehouse, one of the biggest 🙂




A cedar tree was planted on the day that Fenelon was born, August 6 1615, he was the author of the adventures of Telemachus 


It's where Ridley Scott's film  The Last Duel with Jodie Comer was filmed.             (Netflix) 


Here's a scale model of it with its peppercorn  roof turrets 



 

The well 


The kitchen range. Took photos until until I remembered no photographs inside! 





Don't get to see many Morgans these days 

We drove on to Rocamadour and paid for a campsite at Kaowa, 18€, with a large oval shallow swimming pool which proved tricky to swim in. It's Ascension Day in France so school children have today and tomorrow off school.
