More Travel than Blogging - Part Three

France! How I love this country - the beautiful, dynamic countryside, majestic rivers and gorges and the historic villages, towns and buildings.  This year I made the trip with my family and dog; the only downside was that I was persuaded to go in the Channel Tunnel - never again, I'm claustrophobic and the journey really made feel bad, and worst of all, I had to do it alone on the way home - fortunately there was a very kind assistant on board who could sense my distress and he came to talk to me during the crossing.  My journey took me across 2500 miles with stops in the Loire region, the beautiful, magical Dordogne, the beach area of Languedoc Rousillon, the Jura and finally Luxembourg - where it was just myself and the dog.  I'm sharing some of the views here:
