....and finally a little further.

 ...you then arrive at the very pretty small village of Tayac which has an amazing 12th
century fortified church. It was originally a priory and survived the Hundred Years war almost unscathed .
The two very tall straight towers front and rear served as a fortress (the front also doubles up as a bell tower) and when viewed from the rear as pictured below, the tower has magnificent stone columns on the facade.

So in just 45 minutes my walk had taken me from the first findings of Man through the Hundred Years war and to the 19th century french railway network....some journey!
