Entry from: Bouc-Bel-Air, France Entry Title: “Pictures of the Village” Entry: “Pictures of Bouc Bel Air. R&R until we leave. The Sunday storm in Indy has left my house without power. My neighbor’s DEAD tree was struck by lightning and a branch fell on my power line, pulling down my line and ripping the meter from the house. IPL won’t repair the line until I have an electrician run new wire from my fuse box to the meter. It’s a little difficult arranging for an electrician and IPL from France. Dinner Monday night at Cecile’s sister’s apartment in Marseilles.” Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. “Bouc Bel Air” 2. “View of Bouc Bel Air from Cecile’s Parent’s” 3. “Picture of Ste.

Entry from: Le Bugue, France Entry Title: “Verdant valley of chateaux et cheveaux” Entry: “On Tuesday morning, due to the frustrating events of the previous day, I’d looked up and booked my next two nights’ accommodation near le Bugue, south of Perigieux in the Dordogne. I’d had enough of taking chances, getting lost and paying through my **** for last minute highway hotels. But at every turn I realise I’ve forgotten something. On the highway, getting worryingly close to Bordeaux, I realised I had no idea how to get to le Bugue, although I had directions from Perigieux to the B&B, I was driving randomly south — away from where I should be heading. A spot of luck found me at a Shell station where I bought a map of France and all its roads as well as a sandwich, my hunger having reached the point of turning my brain to jelly and my nerves to frayed ends. Remember it was now late afternoon and I’d not eaten except for olives and wine! I planned a route via Pons toward Perigieux on the country roads where the views are better than on the freeway — also the freeway didn’t go to Perigieux so I had some justification. Despite the good signage I lost the road and wound through amazing countryside for an extra 45 minutes before finding myself ten kilometres down the road I had been on before and heading for …

Take a tour of French Village of Collonges-la-Rouge in Collonge-la-Rouge, France — part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. If you look best in red, you may want to visit the French village of Collonges-la-Rouge. Almost all of the buildings in this small town in the Limousin region are built with local red sandstone. History traces the town back to the 8th century, and it has since been a highly desirable destination site. The town has gone through various stages, including once being a pilgrim destination and a stone quarry. The most beautiful villages of France association was created in this ethereal town, an admittedly proper place to begin this prestigious honor. With local help, the town was given the title of “historical monument” in 1942.

Entry from: Foix, France Entry Title: “Port Vendres, Collioure, Quillan and Foix” Entry: “It was a beautiful morning. The wind was still blowing strongly but the sky was deep clear blue and Banyuls was looking exactly as we always remember it. We decided to spend an hour in Collioure before making the slow journey north. On our way, we saw the sign for the Aire du Camping Car at Port-Vendres. We’ve checked this out before, but couldn’t remember what it was like, so we went for a reminder. It’s tucked away in a shady spot and as long as you have enough onboard facilities, it’s a good place. It was full of French, Dutch and German vans this morning. There is a parking meter there, so it’s not entirely free, and we didn’t check the cost. A few years ago we were in Port Vendres and found a huge fish warehouse on the other side of the bay. The locals were busy buying fish, and sampling some prepared produce over a glass of wine. If you’re a fish fan it’s got to be done. Of equal interest, though, was the huge car park beside it. There were a couple of French vans, clearly camping for free. If you don’t mind the smell of fish, check it out As we left the Aire, Ralph lost the plot and headed for Port Vendres instead of Collioure. We had breakfast at a cafe/boulangerie called Le Pain du Jour. It was the …
