Hi

Someone say something nice about this area (pretty please!).

Going to Touzac (Le Ch'tmi) in August on a rally and looking forward to it. Have done Sarlat before and never done The Lot.

Thanks

Les

Hi Les

We have been to the Lot twice. Both times we stayed about 20 miles north west of  Touzac at Villereal. You are in for a wonderful holiday. The Lot region is very rural with rugged uplands as you head east towards the Causses. If you do head over that way then Rocamador is a must do. There are lots of stunning Bastide towns to visit. Fumel is the departments industrial and commercial town. Every department has one and the Lot is no exception but you are a few miles upriver and wont even know its there unless you visit for shopping as it does have some excellent hypermarches. The rest of the Dept is stunning and an area we would have no hesitation returning to. I'm sure you will have a great holiday.

Thanks Huw and Carol.

Put my mind at rest (OH's really). Will have to do the Hypermarche thing as she insists on that. Other than that sounds a good area with a lot of ruggedness.

Ok so you've convinced me so I won't be staying in Fumel but will probably pass through it for a brief visit. I like the look of Moulin du Perie or possibly Camping le Ch'timi near Touzac. There looks like several nice towns to visit in the area and some historic stuff as well. No doubt we'll do our yearly pilgrimage and go to Rocamadour to see the monkeys.

Thanks y'all.

Not wishing to bore anyone but it looks like we'll be having a week at Moulin de Perie following a week in Nevers.

Moulin de Perie looks like our kind of site, some facilities, not too big, slightly off the beaten track. However, nothing in set in stone andI won't be booking anything until a couple of weeks before we travel which should be the 2nd week in August if all goes to plan.

Onwards and upwards!
