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

[World's End Stella]

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!!!' :rolleyes:

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. :thumbup: :sagaholidays:

:nono: 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.

You could pick up some wine and cheese while you're there. oh...

Chaws, I'm only about 10-15 minutes from Sarlat so that place isn't too long.

Sarlat? Went there as a kid. Doesn't it have an absolutely gorgeous car park full of trees? Or was that somewhere else?

Which one's Dordogne then? Come up on up to Paris, bro. I'll be there, we could go to strip clubs.

You went as a kid and you remember a car park?

I remember caves in the Dordogne. Prehistoric wons.

Caves are cool and quiet *

*I have never been in one but I guess they are

[Sir C]

Aren't most caves prehistoric? I mean, you rarely wander up to a rock and go, 'Oh look there's a new cave here that wasn't there last week'.

Sadly, one knows so little of these geological matters.

I suppose so. This one had a little train in it that took you past loads of paintings done by cavemen. My niece decided she needed to pee at the point of no return and, since even the French frown on you urinating on sites of international historic interest, she had to hang on until we got out of the cave. Damn close run thing, it was.

The trouble with prehistoric cave paintings as that they're shít.

I'd rather see a Rembrandt.

Yeah, but they're well old. And I suppose what we're marvelling at is that these poor fücks who lived in caves were just as human as us, with loves and hates and the desire to express themselves just like us. Seeing those pictures from millennia past helps to close that otherwise insurmountable temporal gap and makes one feel connected to these people in a way one otherwise might not.

:nod: None of yer ghastly liberal urban trendies back then, redg. Women knew their job and did it. Great days.

True. Probably not even Harrod's picnic hampers or Range Rovers or Barbours either. Savages basically.
