Gardian Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I know that I'm going to sound very grumpy, but that title has become a bit of a turnoff for me.My most recent experience (St Guilhem-le-Desert) was worse than a disappointment: it was a ripoff.Pretty village, yes. But very pricey parking, nasty lunch at an exhorbitant price and a place that felt the very opposite of 'natural'. Wouldn't go near there again.

idun Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 We visited the very pretty Locranon and got ripped off with a tourist meal. I wish we had just strolled and maybe just had a coffee and left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YCCMB Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'll help you out, Clair..Talmont/s/Gironde - Charente Maritime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I totally agree about St Guilhem...and the same is true of Conques, which is very difficult to get into if you can't walk a long way from the car park, although the village itself is a bit less 'twee'That's why I prefer to watch a programme. It's a bit like a match. You get the best views on the TV.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I've just enjoyed looking at all the photos/videos - just beautiful. I haven't been to Locronan for about 30 years, and it was like being there again. It was a very quiet, beautiful place; I still had some woven place mats I bought there until recently. We went for a walk down a lane, and stopped to speak to an old couple, who invited the whole family in for refreshments - a lovely memory.It was also lovely to be back in Rocamadour and Cordes, and St-Guilhem was also as we have seen it - almost the only people there, as we have only been out of season.Thanks a lot Clair - that was a lovely way to start the day!
