When I set off this morning, I wasn’t entirely sure where I was going, but luckily my host David was there to point me in the right direction. He suggested a tour starting with the Cingle de Montfort not far south of Sarlat, which is beautiful view point over the château and village of Montfort, then on to Domme, La Roque-Gageac, Beynac-et-Cazenac and either the Château de Castelnaud or the Château des Milandes which was once the home of Josephine Baker and is now perhaps better known for its falconry displays.
I would probably have got to the Cingle de Montfort quicker if I’d listened to the GPS lady when she kept telling me I was going the wrong way, but it did get the day off to a nice start with an interesting little countryside tour. The Cingle de Montfort is actually a couple of minutes drive out of the village, but personally I preferred the views as you get up close and personal with the Château, and wished I’d stopped to take more photos of the amazing rock formations which form the foundations.
