RV Trip Around France part 1

We got back Thursday from our whirlwind RV tour around France. What a beautiful country. We visited castles, prehistoric caves, cathedrals, and Roman amphitheaters, drove along wide open highways, through congested cities and small medieval villages, and down terrifyingly narrow, steep and winding roads, sipped wine, ate cheese, and drank in the stunning countryside through wind, rain, and sun. We took a fair amount of video, some good and some less good, and a handful of photos. Along the way I learned that the French history and culture is fascinating, the people are usually warm and friendly, and the architecture, art, wine, cheese, and countryside are stunning. But of all the things I applaud France and the French for, there's one thing that keeps popping up: with the exception of the Natural History Museum in Paris, the French seem to struggle at the art of taxidermy. With this in mind, I present to you one of my favorite photos from our journey, from the Rock Fort in the Dordogne, on proud display at the exit of a fort castle we visited built into a cliff dwelling site that had been inhabited since Neanderthal times.
