Another village in the collection of the most beautiful villages in France.

Autoire

Autoire is different to so many of the other pretty medieval towns. Those that have tended to survive and retain their character are those with castles and forts, typically perched on hills and clifftops. Quaint Autoire is nestled in a valley.

We climbed to the castle and clambered all over it. Afterwards, we rewarded ourselves with an ice cream in the square by the church. Excellent efforts deserve recognition.

Sophie confided that the fireplace was a significant fitting that swayed their decision to buy this property. I don't blame them - I would easily be swayed by that single feature, too.

This is the house we rented in Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Basement - Kitchen and garden (the town is incredibly sloped!). Ground floor - Entry, sitting area, and bathroom. First floor - Lounge, and great views from front and back. Attic - Bedroom and toilet, and more great views.

Around 23 years ago, we came through Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. It was siesta, and the place was deserted. In spite of this, or maybe because of it, the town stayed with us. Jo vowed, many times, that we would return one day and stay here. And so, here we are, to fulfil that undertaking.
