We are dropped off in Tamniès, where we meet a couple of bakers committed to ecology and healthy eating. We enjoy listening to them as much as tasting their divinely flavored breads and pastries! This is where our electrically assisted bikes, our new traveling companions, await us. They carry us effortlessly into the Beune valley, where suddenly the long-forgotten castle of Commarque emerges from the undergrowth.

What an intriguing building, built on prehistoric troglodyte dwellings. The guide tells us about the different periods of the eventful life of the place, and, arriving at the top of the keep, we reveal the surprise to the children: they will be able to rappel down its 60 meters!

Proud to have taken on the challenge despite apprehension, they are ready to hit the road again! This evening, we sleep in Sarlat-la-Canéda, where our luggage is already waiting for us. On the way we stop to visit the Breuil cabins. This is what we call a village of “Bories”, very old and enigmatic little stone houses, located there on the land of a small family farm. Carine and Jean-Marc enthusiastically tell us how they restored them with the help of their children. Faithful to traditions, they also cultivate their vegetables and their vines, raise their animals and bake their bread in a wood oven.
