We tried to get up early and go to Les Eyzies to see the cave paintings. But when we got there they were already all booked up for the day! Quite a disappointment. But we ended up having a lovely day driving through this beautiful countryside and seeing several lovely towns. The 12th century abbey church in Paunat was spectacular and we were there all alone. It is very nice to be here at this time of year because it is so uncrowded. Haut Limeuil is another picturesque town that we loved walking around. Charming charming!
In les Eyzies we came upon a small farmers' market where we bought some dark forest honey, walnut cake, cheeses, and wild boar sausage.
The first picture is of the 12th century church of St. Martin in Limeuil which was built by Richard Coeur de Lion in atonement for the death of Thomas Becket. Too bad it was closed and we couldn't see the inside. Next time!
