One of his favoured routes is a circuit round Mazerolles, a small hamlet now only with a handful of full time residents, mostly empty shut up houses and part time holiday home owners.
We start off along our road passing Michele and Michelle, the french retired couplewho spend their summer in her family home. As Michelle sits outside a lot of the time and Michele has a thing for strimming (note very well kept verges) it's a scary part for Sorrel, who has to walk past people she is so scared of.
Continuing up the main road to La Sole we turn right at the house that has just been sold.
Soon after we have to turn down a small track (much to Franklin's refusal, a few teats help)
But then there are always new smells to ponder.
Going down hill to Mazerolles along what was probably once a well maintained cobbled path it now has a few stones missing.
There is a good view of the church, chateau and Najac castle a bit further away.
Down the path to the top of Mazerolles where we set of Isabella's dog and Bruno's hunting dog, along with geese so we try to walk quickly past this point.
Past the church
And down the lane, noting Amars neat veg patch on the way to meet the main road we started on a bit further down.
Past the small chateau owned by the Armagnac family,
And the blue Mary, who is in need of a bit of TLC,
Up the road
passing the small cemetery, which has a really lovely view.
and back up to our bend on the road
where we turn left back along our road in time for coffee.
