Chateau de Beaudry,at Monestier, Chateau Pichon Longueville and Dune de Pilat

After 23 days in Sarlat we decided to return to the Bordeaux region and spend a few more days at Chateau Crecy.  On the way back we stopped pvernight at Chateau de Beaudry in Monestier.  The Chateau was very upscale and we had a great room and a lovely dinner served and cooked by the owners of the Chateau.

Fourth course the cheese selection this was after a soup course, a fish course, then a main course of Duck Breast Margret, the cheese was followed by dessert and a nice round of Port

While we were at Chateau Crecy the second time we visited an area famous for its wine brands like Rothschild and Chateau Pichon Longueville.





We also visited a placed called Dune du Pilat a place famous for a massive sand dune.  I thought Sam was joking when she said we were going to drive close to an hour to see a sand dune but after seeing it I was not disappointed.


Steps up to the dune



The dune itself, it ran for about a kilometre

On the way down from the Dune, the shoes are Sam's I didn't pinch them from some unsuspecting lady

The next day we drove into Bordeaux and flew to Seville Spain where we were to spend a month in Seville, Granada and Estepona.
