Corsham is a fairly large town near Lacock with all needed amenities, including this lovely and very friendly church. It was formerly a school and the local Catholic Church purchased it and it makes a lovely church.

Cheverny approaching the Château parking lots by Beausoleil

The Château de Cheverny is somewhat south of the main village but has its own little village surrounding it. You can visit the Château and eat right here without going into town if you like. Parking I is closest to the Château and out of season, the pedestrian entrance will be open for cars and it is just at the entrance. Check the web site for more information.

Hooray! Faverolles-sur-Cher. Now, can we find the gite? by Beausoleil

The first time we came here many years before GPS, we had a terrible time finding this wonderful gite / B&B and drove in circles for half an hour or more. We passed one man working in his garden at least five times and he started to wave at us going past. I'm sure he thought we were crazy. This time, we knew exactly where to go and were "home" within five minutes.

Villedieu-sur-Indre, finally off the AutoRoute by Beausoleil

The AutoRoute is fast but not terribly scenic so we were delighted to exit and head into the countryside once again. We love to drive through all the villages along the way and see the lovely old buildings and beautiful churches there.

Driving through Le Bugue in the rain by Beausoleil

We started our trip north in the rain and were in and out of it all day. It didn't do much for my pictures, but fortunately we had lots of photos of Le Bugue, a very untouristy, friendly French town. I just happened to catch this one of our favorite restaurant in Le Bugue, Le Cygne.

Eglise Saint-Martin in Daglan by Beausoleil

There is a large parking lot just past the Tourist Information Office, Maison de la Pierre Seche. Park and walk into town. A right turn near the Mairie will take you to the 14th century church of Saint Martin (follow the steeple) where you can find a carved wooden statue and these colorful butterflies. Daglan is not one of the Plus Beaux Villages of France, but it is a Ville Fleuri and exceptionally pretty. There is a park along the Céou River where you can picnic if you like.

Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption also called Notre-Dame de Montcuq by Beausoleil

Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption also called Notre-Dame de Montcuq is on Google maps as Parish Our Lady of Capelou and is part of that parish but is named as above. The second name is the more historic one. The frescoes inside are amazing. While it is not in Old Town, it is definitely worth the walk (or drive) to visit.

Eglise Saint-Sulpice in Le Bugue by Beausoleil

This may be the friendliest church we have ever attended. One lady even invited us to eat lunch with her family. Another lady cheerfully walked us to a local restaurant so we wouldn't get lost on the way. We were greeted as we entered the church and everyone seemed friendly and happy. The restaurant they suggested was excellent. It was just a great experience and it's a very pretty and well-cared-for church.
