French sunshine, A glass of wine and Thou ...








Our villa has a terrace. The morning mists cleared and the sun shone warmly just in time for lunch. We had fresh baguettes and cheese and ham, a beautiful red wine, and the boys had decided that a few drinks were in order before lunch and had broached finished the rum, so it was a delightful hour or so we spent out there, with lots of laughs and enjoying the day. A huge white swan swam up the river to complete the idyllic setting, and then suddenly the boys were tired and headed off for 'la sieste' for an hour or two. 


Last night was eventful for us as the bed was so small I ended up coming to sleep on the couch, and just as well. Max says not long after I left he felt something crawling on him and flicked on the light to see a mouse which took off and ran up  the wall and disappeared. I would have freaked out if I had been there.

Having said that, it is clean and very comfortable in the other bedrooms, 2 large lounges and dining room and good kitchen, large laundry and beautiful little garden and tbe terrace, and almost all rooms look out on a beautiful view of the river..

Le Bugue is a town of 18th century architecture and a beautiful setting surrounded by wooded hills, built on the right bank of a bend in the river Vezere, and with 3000 inhabitants it is one of the main localities in the Perigord Noir. It is situated at the crossroads of the Perigord and dominates the entrance to the Vezere Valley.
