We came back to France to have christmas with our relatives. They live in Bordeaux. We did the last bit of christmas shopping in town then drove all over the Dordogne region which has medievel villages. Some of them are built into the hills and mountainsides around them. One of them has caves high up where the troglodytes lived.

We stayed in Domme in a very old chateau, with our cousins and spent most of our time in Sarlat because a lot of places did not have anywhere open to eat. The Dordogne region only serves duck in their restaurants. Yuck.

We had christmas in Claouey with our cousins and lots of other relatives. The french open their presents late on christmas eve and they don't have santa sacks. Their christmas lunch has lots of courses and lasts for hours. The adults just sat at the table eating all day.
We are leaving Europe in two days!. Going home.
