When Sue mentions that we drove 'cross-country', perhaps this doesn't give the full flavour of what we actually do. The idea is to set our destination into the GPS, and for the most part follow the recommended route. But then we keep stopping and as required detouring on the way for yet another wow-moment, photo-op, wander through an old church (they are just about all open even for plebs like us to walk into), drive or walk through a bastide - you get the picture! Sue is very patient, allowing me to indulge in all those stops, which sometimes considerably lengthen our journey.
So here's a photographic hat-tip to all those other places we visited in the region while we were travelling, whose names we often didn't know or didn't record:
Let's start with Lauzerte (I think), another hill-top bastide, a bit tired in places, a bit of a ghost town while we were there, without as much charm as some others, but nevertheless fascinating...
