We haven't blogged about our travels for quite some time, and aren't likely to again until the new year because frankly we are too enraptured with the stone cottage we're staying in at Beynac-et-Cazenac (in southern France) and its environs. We actually don't feel like doing mundane things like... oh... taking time to describe the places we've visited and the things we've done here. Words fail us. It is a magical place.
The Dordogne Valley, with the Chateau de Beynac on the right. They're our next-door neighbors.
The Chateau. If you've seen the movie "Ever After" with Drew Barrymore and Dougray Scott (not very good, but tame enough), then here is where they filmed the scene where Prince Henry "rescues" Danielle from the evil Baron.
View down the Dordogne River from the Chateau. That's the parish church in the foreground, the bells of which wake us up every morning at precisely 7am because we live about 30 feet away from them.
Q and I stroll down the cobblestone pathway to La Maisonnette (i.e., our cottage). It's the sunlit little cottage on the right. That's the Chateau wall on the left.
The facade of La Maisonnette. Gorgeous.
One especially misty morning, I woke up and saw this view out the TV room window. Too wonderful to let pass.
Ground floor at La Maisonnette.
This is the view from the bathtub. Not the bathroom, mind you. The bath TUB. How could one not love this place?
Amazing photos of an amazing place. I'll be interested to learn how you arranged to stay there.
ReplyDeleteI walked into our bathroom this morning and looked out the window - and what did I see, our neighbour's car parked in the drive. What a comparison! Great photographs all round. Enjoy this special time. You have earned it.
ReplyDeleteWow! So beautiful. I'm entirely too jealous to come up with anything more to say.
