Sarlat

The plan was to connect to Sarlat via a small local run from the railway station at Libourne, just east of Bordeaux. But even with my limited French, it was quickly apparent that something was not right – trains were still going into Bordeaux, but any runs originating there were being cancelled. Turns out that Bordeaux was the beneficiary of a rail strike that day.

So… I ended up working my way back north on one of the last trains that would head that way for the day, over to Brive, down to Souillac, and into Sarlat from the opposite side via the shuttle bus from the Souillac station.
