Un séjour fantastique !
Merci encore Ian et Margot ! Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans votre maison à l'ancienne que nous, avons adorée. Tout y est beau et réunit en même temps tout ce que la vie moderne propose. Uzerche est certainement le plus beau et le plus tranquille des villages médiévaux de la région. On y mange bien, on y dort bien et s'y promener est un ravissement. La région est pleine de surprises, de lacs oú se baigner, de grottes, paysages, promenades, volcans,... sans compter les gorges de la Dordogne. Et bien sûr, nous avons retrouvé l'appartement de Santander impeccable à notre retour. Un échange trés réussi.
