Bonjour from southern France,
This will just be another short update as I've just got limited time in the Net Cafe (also the Keyboard is a bit "difficult", to say the least!).
After leaving Paris, the group stopped at a number of places along the way for brief tours. Some of the sites visited were Chenonceau, gardens at Villandry, the prehistoric Caves at Rouffignon, Les Eyzies and the "martyr village" of Oradour sur Glane. After spending a few days in Chinon and the surrounding area, I'm now in Sarlat. The group went canoeing on the Dordogne river yesterday and I'm sure that will be a highlight for many.
It's market day here today (Saturday) so there are lots of little vegetable stalls set up in the streets. We depart tomorrow for Carcassone and eventually end in Nice. After the tour ends, I'll be heading into Italy for a week or so on my own.
Some of the locations I've stayed have provided free Wi-Fi or at least one computer in the Lobby, but here in the south the Net Cafes seem to be more prevalent. I've resisted travelling with a Laptop so far, but will probably consider at least a Netbook on future trips. The IPod Touch is fine for "light duty use" but it's somewhat awkward for normal use.
Cheers!
