Small renovation job!

Earlier in the week, we decided to have a morning out before temperatures once again headed towards the mid 30's. Another place on our list of 'to do's' was Chateau de Cammarque, only a 20 minute or so drive from us situated between Les Eyzies and Sarlat,
Built on top of a pre-historic cave and settlement in the 12th century and with sections of the area added to over the centuries, it's an interesting place to visit and see how renovations have been on-going since the early 1990's when the site was hidden by vegetation due to many years of neglect.
As well as the well planned walks around the estate you can also see up close some of the paintings that are visible in the cave.
By the time we'd got home, the temperature had indeed got up to 34 degrees (93 F) so was time to get in the pool to cool down!
