In fact we continued to roam aimlessly through Dordogne-shire down to Perigueux with its indefensible foie gras and beyond - ending up in Agen just after the rain started.
We have a soft spot for this home of the prune! (there is a prune museum!) - mostly because it is on the Canal Littoral of the Garonne and has great towpath cycling. The weather was unremittingly foul - so rather than move on we twice re-booked our cell at the Premiere Classe Hotel and stayed until the Saturday, taking trips out in the car to see more waterways known and new to us. Despite being very, very cheap there was free Wifi available, so we also did a lot of stuff with that, and eventually had a day when we could cycle. We re-visited the superb canal aqueduct - at 580 metres the second longest in France - and whilst halfway across the rain started! Another dash back in cagoules to sit in a hypermarket brasserie. It's a good job this isn't a holiday!
