Today, we had breakfast in the breakfast room off the lobby where we're staying, La Villa des Consuls. To get to the lobby, we go out of our apartment via the patio, onto the laneway, then walk up to the lane and into the lobby.
Back in our apartment, I got to watch some cartoons on TV in French - Pink Panther, Tom and Jerry, and others, while the grownups were outside on the patio relaxing.
Today is Sunday, so many shops on the main street closed, but fortunately, since this is a tourist area, there are still plenty of places open. We walked throughout the old city, bought a few things, and had coffee (I had Oringina).
Here's us have coffee in the square.
Grandad had a brochure for a nice restaurant, Le Bedaine, up the hill near some art gallaries. The Menu Enfants was a Haché Boeuf avec Pommes which is beef hamburger patty, plus potato sliced and grilled, followed by ice cream (Glaces). The lunch the grownups selected was the 11€ menu Daddy had Foie Gras and then Duck for lunch, and then Creme Caramel.
We looked at one of the art gallaries - Daddy saw one he liked but it was 760€ so he decided against it. It was getting quite hot so we walked back to our aparement. By then, our patio was in shade so we sat there and relaxed.
In the afternoon, we decided to go for a short drive to Limeuil, a pretty village on the intersection of two rivers, the Dordogne and the Vézère rivers. It has two matching bridges, one over each riverI had fun playing in the water but I didn't bring my swimmers so I didn't get to go swimming. We packed a picnic of bread, ham, cheese, salmon, pate, plus wine and milk (the latter for me). Afterwards, Daddy and I had an icecream.
We didn't get home until 9:30pm but like other nights, it was still light. I had a bath, watched some TV, then off to bed.
