Today's excursion was a walking tour of Bergerac. Unforunately, our bus driver Jose (who was Portugese) had never been there before and got lost on the outskirts of town so we spent an extra half hour navigating our big coach down some very narrow streets.
The town is really pretty with some lovely old buildings. It seems Cyranno de Bergerac wasn't really from here - but that doesn't stop them from cashing in by having lots of statues of him everywhere.
Returning to ship, we set sail for Blaye after lunch and spent a lovely afternoon up on the sundeck enjoying the scenery and a nice cooling breeze.
In the evening we were invited for a special meal at the upmarket restaurant L'Amour. Everyone gets to dine here once during the cruise. It was a 5 course meal with wine pairings for each course.
Any statues of John Nettles?
