Countryside walk with magnificent panoramic city views! You know, I’ve been pestering Jeff for weeks now to accompany me on a particular walk that I’ve been itching to explore. The walk is just outside the City of Perigueux. Driving into the city along the D939 at the junction with the D3 (Route d’Agonac) there’s a [...]
A short bright sunny winter walk that expectantly turned into a 20km trek to Champcevinel village! There are dozens of mapped and waymarked walks around La Treille and we’ve covered quite a number of them over the last few years; many, I’ve documented on this blog (you’ll find them archived under the ‘Walking‘ tab under [...]
Promenade around Lac La Jemaye We’re making the most of this beautiful Autumnal weather this weekend and yesterday (Saturday 15th October) went for a leisurely walk around the lake at La Jemaye. The temperature peaked at around 27ºC in the afternoon which caught me out as I’d put a jumper on… I felt a little [...]
A 10.2 km walk – 3rd January 2011 We first attempted this walk over 2 years ago (June ’08 – see here for original post) but only got about a 3rd of the way around it. This time we managed to complete the walk. We’ve been stuck indoors for the past couple of days turning [...]
Promenade around a beautiful village It might be early winter here in the Dordogne but that doesn’t mean we have to hibernate. The local towns and villages are just as pretty as we may remember in the summer but they take on a different hue and are just as pleasant to visit in these cooler [...]
It’s a busy old time around La Treille at the moment so I”ve done 2 posts in 1 here… 1 – Rambling around La Treille Gites in the glorious September sunshine – It’s been an absolutely perfect summer and even now during late September the sun is out giving us temperatures in the mid twenties. [...]
Promenade du Canal & The River Isle We’d had a busy morning, Jeff painting the house windows & shutters and I’d been jet-washing the terraces we decided we needed to go for a walk. We didn’t really fancy a ‘countryside walk’ but something different so we headed into the city of Perigueux. Not following a [...]
Right, Jeff’s foot is recovering well after his ‘bunion’ operation (don’t tell him I called it a bunion – technically it wasn’t but it’s easier than explaining what it really was) and so we ventured out for a little walk around Lisle. I say ‘little’ with tongue in cheek, it was about 12 km and [...]
15th February – This was our 1st attempt at a walk around Riberac but had to be cut short due to Jeff being in agony with a foot problem. He’s since been for an operation to ‘fix his foot’. The town of Riberac can be quite sleepy, especially in the winter except on Friday Mornings [...]
La Treille is positioned at approximately 150m above sea level and about 2 km up the hill from Tocane St Apre so, whilst we were nice and dry, down in the village the River Dronne burst its banks and they suffered the full force of ‘Tempete Quentin’ on the 24th January 2009. You get a [...]
