We had an early Christmas celebration so that we could leave on our 10 day trip to the south of France. We left Monday December 22nd. Monday night we stopped at Brives de Gaillard, which was near the caves of Lascaux. Below is a picture of the group at the hotel "Le Coc D'or" (the golden rooster). Unfortunately we were not able to take pictures at Lascaux, but it was beautiful.
After Lascaux, we visited the castle of Beynac, which was built 492 feet above the river. We drove up to the castle and toured around.
Another castle was built right across the river from Beynac.
While driving around, Genia found these rock mushrooms and had to stop for a pose.
Our next stop was in Carcassonne, a beautiful midieval fortified city. We were actually able to stay in a hotel that was located within the walls. It was an amazing experience.
Genia and Gary at the entrance to the walled city. When we arrived by car, we had to drive over this wooden bridge, which we did reluctantly. We were only allowed by car after 6 pm, and only to quickly unload our vehicle.
