Dispatch from France III
To supplement our update from Herman’s last missive, he sends along a map, plus some documentation and this explainer:
How’s this? Great restaurant, Garlic soup, and some happy French people. Look up some of these towns circled and see what gives. Beynac is quite special. Cohors is a big wine center.
Dispatch From France II
Another batch of pictures from Herman of the garden, living room, bedrooms and front door of his rented French village house. And a couple of other nearby views. Still not sure exactly where this is situated.
UPDATE: 10/8/2017 10:16am PT – Herman sends me this clarification:
OK, we are in the village of Cadouin. It is a village with a large Abby. We are a few miles to the east of Bergerac, just south of the river Dordogne. I will send a map, and you can go from there. It is hilly and has quite a history and well known for its food, particularly the liver paté. I was out this morning and a big wild boar ran across in front of the car. They are quick, and about a half mile down the road were hunters.

Dispatch From France
Not sure where this is; photos were delivered without comment or annotation. However, from another message, I understand that Herman is renting a house in a French village … somewhere. Will try to learn more.
