| La Tour Saint-Laurent. |
One of the officially designated 'plus beaux villages de France' we discovered Ségur-le-Chateau by accident, as a result of continuing our journey home from the Pyrénées after having missed our scheduled visit to the Lascaux prehistoric painted cave.

We stopped for a picnic lunch on a warm sunny day in July. There are several picnic tables in a shady park by the river, as well as one up by the church. It was busy with tourists who were wandering around enjoying the many picturesque medieval buildings, and it was hard to find a parking place for the car. The restaurants that were open all appeared to be full.

The village is very small and every house a splendid example of medieval architecture, all different and quite higgledey piggledey.
It made a great lunch stop and we were delighted to have discovered the place.
