Back in France for a further month. Have come down to the Dordogne from Burgundy and had a the first of this week’s 3 5k runs. My knee has been hurting a bit so am limiting my runs to 5k for a few weeks.
Beautiful scenery at Beaulieu. Cool at 7:00 am but otherwise very hot.
Look at that scenery! Beautiful.
Yes, it is beautiful. It’s a spot we’ve been coming to since 1992. Barely changed over the years. France is full of lovely villages.
I have a photo of the bridge all lit up at night.... what a lovely location to run. last time I was there, there was a heat warning in place..so runs had to be done mega early!
Snap!! Looks like you may have been on the same pitch at Camping des Illes.
Definitely!! That's amazing...We had thunderstorms that night! Oh gosh...I wish o was therex
Sounds perfect
LOVE it there... lucky, lucky you! Slow and steady as you go and give the knee time to recover... soak up the scenery as you go... so envious! x
Me? Jealous? Not at all!!! Ohhhhh yes I am…my very favourite place…the Dordogne…I have run many happy miles round there…Be careful on that knee…go slow, have breaks & enjoy the scenery
I live in the Val de Loire near Blois. Running is quite popular here. Most of my runs are along levée of the north bank of the river. A really nice place to run. Daytime temperatures around 30°C recently, so morning runs are best. 
What a lovely place to live! Yes, early morning runs are required in this heat. Having said that, I missed this morning’s run as we had torrential rain and a terrific lightning storm.
Early morning run convert
