Sunday, October 2 we tried to figure out what to do. Sundays can be tricky because you never know what will be open and what will be closed. There was something Jim wanted to do in Sarlat later in the afternoon, so we decided to start the day by going to two places designated as some of the “Most Beautiful Villages of France.” I like beautiful villages, so off we went. First stop was Turenne. It was closed. Yes, the entire town was closed. Well, to be fair there was a tiny store open. I asked about where to locate a bathroom and there wasn’t one.

We continued on to Collonges La Rouge and we were not disappointed. It’s a picturesque village with a surprise around every corner. Some things were closed, but there was plenty that was open and we didn’t have any trouble spending a few hours there.

We went back to Sarlat, parked the car at our apartment and walked into the old town. Sarlat was busy! There was a car show that Jim wanted to see and as we walked down the street we saw some great vintage cars. We walked to another street because we saw cars there, and at the end of the street a crowd was gathered and we saw a red carpet and a stage, or as we were soon to find out, it was a runway. A fashion show? It was unexpected, except when I looked at the flyer we had picked up and translated it I found it was very clear. Many of the cars/motorcycles were just a way to deliver the models to the stage. The models were every age from very young children to mature adults, both male and female. The clothing went from lingerie to outerwear, and everything in between.

We wandered around some more, admiring the buildings.
