One final day to soak up the Dordogne goodness! On the agenda, a visit to the neighboring town of Domme, which sits prominently at the top of a cliff, overlooking the river valley. I was really excited to see the views, but like all of the other mornings that week, the valley was completely fogged in, even as skies above shone brightly. So we wandered the streets of the village, reputed to be one of the prettiest in France, played around the old windmill, found a great playground and had a picnic lunch in the town square surrounded by their small market. I snuck away to see if the fog was lifting, and sure enough it was! I stood watching the fog slowly vanish and the most amazing views come into sight. Really magical! The kids came to see it and then we played a while longer at the playground before heading home for rest time.

That afternoon, while our kids were resting back home, Nana and Pops drove further East to Rocamadour, another clifftop village, home to many religious buildings. They had a great time strolling, shopping and eating their way through the town.
Back at the ranch, Pete and I enjoyed some outside reading time and then when the kids were awake, we ventured into town in search of the tropical gardens. We found the bamboo forrest, which was a great place for the kids to run around and explore. There was a really cozy looking beer bar inside.
And a return to the pizza place for some al fresco dinning with sunset view to cap off our time in La Roque-Gageac.
