Re: My Rover 827 Sterling Option Pack 1989
Before showing you the cars present in detail, I will show you the Périgord Noir we visited
We start by :
You enter through the door of the towers which dates from the 13th century
which will serve as a prison for the Templars
Like many villages in the Périgord Noir, you have to go up
which allows you to dominate the Dordogne valley
The Church Notre dame de l'Assomption which dates from the 17th century, built with the stones of the old church, destroyed during the Wars of Religion in 1589
The town hall
A beautiful little street
To be continued...

Re: My Rover 827 Sterling Option Pack 1989
This afternoon, we visit La Roque-Gageac which hosted the bishops of Sarlat during the 100 years war.
The Manoir de Tarde with its round tower and above on the left, the troglodyte fort which is located at 40m and which dates from the 12th century
The fort was partly destroyed when its ceiling collapsed in 2010.
On January 17, 1957 at 10 a.m. a section of the cliff fell on part of the village, destroying several houses, causing 3 victims and cutting the road for 2 years. Many thought that the village will not come back to life but ...
The stele and the remains of a destroyed house
The Saint Donat church (Or Notre Dame de Roque Gageac) which is the old medieval chapel of the old hospital and which dates from 1330
Beautiful little streets
which offer beautiful views over the rooftops and over the Dordogne
and on the castle of Malartrie
Castle which was built between 1900 and 1905
To be continued...

Re: My Rover 827 Sterling Option Pack 1989
We then leave for Beynac and Cazenac with its Notre Dame church and its castle perched at the top of the cliff
To get there, there is no other solution than to climb the beautiful little streets.
Here the tower "known as the convent" which dates from the 14th century (Or 13th according to the documents ???)
The widow gate, the only fortified gate still standing and dating from the 15th century
Tower and gate seen from the other side
We arrive on the "square" of Notre Dame church, but the little distance does not allow better than this photo of the front door
It is an old castle chapel which dates from the 12th and 14th century and which became the village church after the destruction of the village church in the 17th century.
The view on the other side of the "square" is very beautiful (we can see the top of the tower "known as the convent")
On the other hand, the high surrounding walls of the castle prevent it from being seen.
But going around we finally see it
The 12th century castle was a French stronghold during the Hundred Years War.
We continue towards the Calvary which offers a superb view of the Dordogne valley
and allows us to see in the foreground the castle of Fayrac (XIIIth / XVIth century) and in the background the castle of Castelnaud la Chapelle (XIIIth century, medieval rival of the castle of Beynac. It was in the hands of the English, but will be recaptured by France in 1442)
Retracing our steps we have a superb view of Beynac castle and its fortifications
We go down with beautiful views of the valley
Including this garden which inspires tranquility ...
End
