May The Festivities Begin!
Our last day in the Perigord/Dordogne region was the highlight of our wandering through the Middle Ages this week. The ancient town of Eymet was throwing its 35th annual medieval festival. The four of us took on our feudal alter egos (vassals, merchantwoman, and a noble maiden) and joined in on all the festivities..JPG)

Le Grand Départ
Today we headed south along with the rest of France for August vacation. Just about all of France takes the month of August off and so “Le Grand Départ” takes place on August 1st. It just so happened our itinerary coincided with Le Grand Depart (The Great Departure)..JPG)

Discovering the Bastides
Many of the villages in the Perigord are designated as medieval bastides. They consist of a central square with a covered market area with shops and houses under arcades all around the square. We wandered through several bastide villages today..JPG)

“Sorrow broke me…Brotherhood lifted me up again…From my wound has burst forth a river of liberty.” These are the words on the walls of the Memorial de Caen, a museum that retraces the history of World War II through French eyes. We spent five hours here and were overcome with all kinds of emotions—sadness, anger, pride, admiration…
