We wake up and as this is one of the few places that has breakfast included we go and engorge ourselves with a full breakfast before checking out. We also have to explore a bit outside because it was night when we arrived the previous day. We can see the famous gate that we begged to be left open so we can enter the previous night.
The parking lot in this country house mansion is on the grass and as we start our car we notice that the fence is full of snails – really weird. Our flight to Marrakesh is leaving only late afternoon so we have time to explore the area as we drive towards the airport.
First we visit Cabries, a nearby village, which also has a castle from its medieval days. We find relatively easy a parking place and then we walk aimlessly through the small narrow streets and while it is not as beautiful as St Cirq Lapopie it is certainly more quiet. We enjoy the journey of discovery as we find a narrow street here a square with weird sculptures there, it is actually the castle museum which is closed at this time.
We get lost on the narrow streets for a while, not really because the village is small 🙂 but we like to feel that way. We also find the castle and an old church where the clock isn’t working anymore and then it’s back to the car to explore one more site that sounded interesting.
