By the time we arrived in Issigeac, we realised (and happily accepted) that France’s Dordogne Valley is filled with some of the most picturesque villages, cities, and towns in the country.
We’re talking about places that look like you’re stepping into a French fairytale and is the idea of France that we all dream about but never really get to see when we venture to all the big French cities.
Life moves slowly here; neighbours know each other, take the time to say hello, and stop for a chat.
Such a far cry from London, where a nod and a wry smile might be all you’d get from a neighbour you’ve lived next to for several years (generally, the more central you are in London, the more likely that this is the case).
When we stepped into Issigeac in the afternoon, the sun was no longer scorching hot but just the perfect temperature to wander through the village’s many quaint streets.
You’d struggle to find many other tourists here, except perhaps on a Sunday morning when the market is on. Once again, it’s one of those perfect little French villages to spend an afternoon relaxing in.
Anyway, rather than go on and on about it, let me take you on a little walk through Issigeac…
So what do you think? It’s such a charming place, isn’t it?
