I have been to France a few times and was never that impressed hmm just got back from a few weeks in the Dordogne and.......well.........it was heaven, woods, hills, fab roads, great food, good fishing, great people, fantastic weather - Next time I'm taking the Triumph wink Yes I know a few of you told me I would regret not doing so and yes you were right no

Quite a few trail bikes about - Domme seemed a popular area for trail riding, saw some TTR's in Sarlat as well smile

I'll let the Pics say the rest, but all this is just over an hour away (we flew Exeter - Bergerac)

Looks great !  I think the animal is a Coypu which isnt a native species to France but there are loads around these days. Used to popular for the fur but thankfully no longer hence a breeding population. Ive seen a few as Ive passed through France and they do bite and bad tempered if you annoy them too much.

I love France too JT.  I was lucky that I found French easy to learn at school so I get by pretty well with the people.

Nice views bud.
Sat on a Triumph Scrambler at Carfest, was a comfy bike to sit on.

Staying at a campsite in France there was a very tame Coypu with babies wandering around which was nice to see. I also wondered what it was as its big and looks like a beaver but has a round tail which together with the coloured teeth was a bit confusing.
