The lovely river Avon flows through Salisbury and has gardens along it much of the way. The swans quickly learn that you can expect treats from gullible townsfolk and tourists.
This is just past the Tourist Office in Daglan with lots of free parking. You can enjoy a picnic or just a walk in the park. The art appears and disappears. This particular tableau is Josephine Baker dancing on the banks of the Céou and a couple boys fishing by the little bridge. The entire village is picturesque and well worth an afternoon.
You only have to climb to the terrace for this stunning view. If you want the church in your view too, climb to the top of the Keep for even more stunning vistas.
The view from the Terrace just above the church shows Château de Fayrac just opposite, one of several castles you can sight from Château de Beynac.
We've stayed at Cénac-et-Saint-Julien twice and even when we don't stay there, we've driven through it often. There is a bridge across the Dordogne with campgrounds on either side. The town has a great pharmacy, boulangeries, charcuteries, two excellent butchers, a coop and a small supermarket and a very friendly church.
A charming castle set on the Vézère River not far from Les Eyzies and in the heart of the Valley of Man. You are required to take the tour and no photos are allowed inside the Château but it is lovely set on the river and the tour is well done.

This is where the Vézère and Dordogne rivers meet. There is a pleasant outdoor café and a park here. Further along is another restaurant and a canoe rental. You can walk up into the Plus Beau Village of Limeuil and have a most pleasant day.

We stopped here for a quick lunch on the Dordogne river before sightseeing in the lovely Plus Beau Village of Limeuil. There is seating at the restaurant and across the road right on the river. It is lovely . . . at least in good weather. This is where the river Vézère joins the river Dordogne.
You overlook the river Lot and surrounding countryside. To the left outside the photo is the perched village of Calvignac.
As we walked back to our parking lot, we kept this charming mill in sight. The walk is along the Lot River and beautiful.
Beautiful and much-photographed medieval bridge. This is worth a trip to Cahors, but the town has a lot more to offer.
The setting of the Guggenheim on the river is sublime. You can walk along the river and enjoy the architecture, both classic and modern, on either side.
The cloud mysteriously wafts over the quai between the museum and the river and you walk through it.
The marvelous Frank Gehry building. We went more to see the building than the collection but enjoyed both. The setting is wonderful and the weather was perfect.

There were a few people removing the lotuses from the reflecting pool in front of the Guggenheim and there was another man wading with them taking pictures of them in action. Curious . . .
Maman is the giant spider by sculptor, Louise Bourgeois, who created it as a tribute to her mother. It is nearly nine meters tall and very striking.
