2005, Day Eight, Limeuil.

Day eight 1st July

Friday morning decided to venture out on the scooter, we headed to the market at Le Buisson-de-Cadouin (don't remember if we intended to go to the market or if it was just on when we got there) it was only about 3.5 miles (5.5k) but we had only intended to do very short trips with it.  We had a very good look round but I couldn't help worrying about where the scooter was parked as it was on a pavement but I needn't have been bothered as it seems you can park a bike just about anywhere in France.  There is a train station in Le Buisson-de-Cadouin and we did consider a day out on the train but we never did get around to it. 

On the way back we remembered reading about a famous church and a micro brewery just outside Limeuil, on the road to Le Bugue, so we continued on past the village for a look.  The church is the Chapelle Saint-Martin, built in 1194 by Henry II, in atonement of the murder of the archbishop of Canterbury, Saint Thomas Becket.  Built back in the days when Aquitaine was still English (there is not much to see and I am not big on churches, especially small churches).  On the other hand, the micro brewery (Brasserie La Lutine, run by a Dutchman, Han Van Strien, http://www.lalutine.com/), was a different mater and we will be back later with the van, to collect some beer to bring home.  The same beer was for sale in the campsite shop but it was slightly more expensive.

The pool was not being used when we got back to the site so we had a nice cool down after our ride before our evening meal and later a drink at the bar.
