We had a long travel day on Wednesday, involving light rail, plane, high-speed train, metro, and lots of walking. I could abbreviate it all as BART, SFO, CDG, RER, TGV, and TER, which makes perfect sense if you know about French transportation systems. Our final destination was the small city of Bergerac, in southwestern France. Cyrano is present, at least in the old part of town.
We were here five years ago at the start of a bike trip in Dordogne, and we thought it would be a good place to begin this trip too. Here's our tiny B&B, run by a friendly lady in a 16th-century building:
We're trying to ease into the timezone, with no strong goal other than enjoying the town by walking around and stopping to see anything interesting that comes up. In the church of St. Jacques, we were pleasantly surprised by an invitation to the organ loft, where the organist gave us a short demo of the 1877 organ.
Later, after dinner, we walked along the Dordogne river, which is calm and peaceful -- a nice ending for a relaxed day.
