Thread: So, what shall I do in the Dordogne next week?

  1. #1

    So, what shall I do in the Dordogne next week?

    Other than drink copious amount of wine, eat tons of cheese and bread and consume foie gras and truffle until I'm blue in the face.

    Any suggestions are or you all too vulgar to appreciate the wonders of France?*




    *wait for Charles to be a condescending old goat with something like 'but there are tourists in the Dordogne!!!'

    What do you mean, 'do'? What does one generally 'do' on holiday? Are you looking for some organised family activities? Aerobics round the pool, Knobbly Knees competition, the sort of things you get to do in holiday resorts like Fujairah or Butlins? You won't find those in France mate.

    Restaurant recommendations, chateaus that are worth a visit, markets that might be particularly wonderful, natural attractions of some kind, possibly a canoe expedition on the river, a city/town with a particularly spectacular town centre etc etc.

    You have been to France, right Charles?

    Oh. Just normal life, you mean.

    I suggest you go there and investigate. Or you could always book an organised tour to make sure you don't miss anything. I expect the coach will be very modern with the latest in chemical toilets and everything. :sagaholidays:

    I always drive to France.

    Because I enjoy it and because it allows me to bring back a case of very expensive red.

    Oh yes.

    Don't, for the love of God, go near Limoges. It's truly fúcking dull.

    We mainly ate magret de canard, explored caves with prehistoric paintings and visited foi gras farms to watch geese being ritually tortured with a pipe shoved down their throats.

    Stay away from France, imo; the place stinks of puppy piss.

    In fairness, that could just be my little piece of it.

    Conduct some conversations in French.

    Also, it's funny when you call us vulgar.
