HOLIDAY DIARIES PART 3 - ROCAMADOUR, MONKEY FOREST and CANOEING

Hello people, hope your week is going well and you have enjoyed part 1 and 2 of the holiday series. I use this blog to keep my family updated on my life and activities so I like to include as many photos as possible for their benefit, so pardon my photo overload. If you enjoy photos then grab a cuppa, this is a good one!

PART 3
We went to Rocamadour historical and beautiful village by the Dordogne River that attracts many pilgrims and tourist. On the steps going down thevillage, there were different stations of the cross. This was my favourite.

Station of the Cross

I was a very hot day 27c and we had a to walk down around 1000 steps to the bottom of the rock where we grabbed lunch, ice- cream and did some sight seeing.

We stopped midway to enjoy the view

Levitating

Lovely handmade soaps

Lunch selfie, no foodie pictures!

Beautiful little shops in the village

Monkey Forest

After visiting the village we went to 'La Foret des Singes' a monkey forest with free roaming gorgeous monkeys. I believe they have about 130 different Monkeys and different species. When you arrive, you get informed about the safety procedures and get given handful of
popcorn to feed them. The monkeys are so tame and will only reach out to you if you have popcorn in your hands. So cute!!

The next day we went canoeing down the Dordogne River, we started from Carsac, stopped for lunch at Vitrac and finished at Le-Roque-Gageac 18km of pure fun! The weather was perfect, warm and sunny with clouds here and there and we had good current that made the journey easier.
