Having taken the scenic route to La Roque Gageac, we rushed to the farmers' market to sample some of the local produce - strawberries were a particular favourite!
Several crêpes later, we embarked on an hour's river cruise on an ancient gabarre, where we enjoyed signs of troglodytic dwellings, châteaux, the medieval bridge and also an ancient lepers' hospital!
A welcome breeze drew the voyage to a close, and midday found us tucking into a meal of croque-monsieur, chips and salad, followed by ice cream at Le Palmier restaurant.
Having toured the town of Sarlat, taking in the ancient cathedral and the sarcophagi, we are now taking the time to sample the local ice creams and to indulge in a little souvenir shopping!
When we get back this evening, the pupils will be heading off for a weekend of adventure with their French families. We're looking forward to hearing all the stories on Monday morning.
Bon week-end xx
