We started in the local town of St Antonin Noble-Val and strolled up into the foothills behind the town. We saw two pigeonniers - the pigeon towers that are scattered throughout this region of France. One was circular and one was square..
We saw glimpses through the trees of a magical, turreted, country house. It reminded me of the house in the classic French novel Le Grand Meaulnes, which I read for my French A-Level.
.
We saw a few more orchids in the woods, and a long row of lombardy poplar trees, marking out the route of the river.
.
We finished up sitting outside our favourite cafe in St Antonin, having lunch and watching the world go by. I was startled by how French my English boyfriend looked, sitting in the sun and shrugging like a pro.
