The village in these photos, called Autoire, is not actually in the modern-day Dordogne, though it is in the Dordogne river valley. It is located only a 30-minute drive east of Rocamadour. It is also one of the plus beaux villages de France, as is another nearby village called Loubressac. There are two châteaux in Autoire. It's a place I'd like to go back to, because 20 years ago all we did was drive through and stop to take a few photos. We didn't go to Loubressac or either of Autoire's châteaux.
I wish I'd gone there. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI need to get that guide. Amazon seems to carry it in English and in French.
ReplyDeleteThis is great to know about :) I liked learning about Quercy, during my visit to Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, and Rocamadour and Sarlat.
