St. Cyprien

Flying to Paris in June then on to St. Cyprien. Any suggestions?

You%26#39;re headed for a really beautiful area! There are prehistoric caves near there. I would make reservations to see the Grotte de font de Gaume, as it%26#39;s one of only a few that allow you to see the originals still.

Also, if you%26#39;re there on a Saturday, don%26#39;t miss the morning market in Sarlat. The castles along the Dordogne (Castelnaud, Beynac, etc...) have great views of the valley from their ramparts. Take a cruise down the Dordogne on one of the flat bottomed boats (gabares). The gardens at Marqueyssac and Erignac are beautiful. If you have time, drive north to the Chateau de Hautefort, a beautiful caastle with spectacular gardens. It was the royal castle in the movie Ever After.

Rocamadour, and the Gouffre de Padirac are worth a visit too, if you have time.

As you can tell, this is one of my favorite parts of France.

Bon voyage.
