Mon 7 Jul- 'Les Jardins du Manoir d'Eyrignac', 'Chateau Monrecour'

Mon 7 Jul- after buffet breakfast, packed and departed. The weather had been rainy and it was cool at 17-18 C, but seemed to be clearing up.
We stopped by Sarlat for Stan's PT/INR test, first at the hospital but were told it was done at the Laboratory, a few miles down the road. So we went to the Laboratory, a medical testing lab run by doctors with a professional staff and modern technology. They knew right away what I needed done, quickly filled out the forms with simply name, address, where to send the results, then in to the room, blood drawn, and out to pay the E10 ($16) fee - quick and efficient.
We continued on to 'Les Jardins du Manoir d'Eyrignac', a Michelin 2-star attraction that the GPS knew about. Before entering, we had snack in the cafe: 2 tomato salads, E8 a pot of tea, E2.30 and beer E2.50 for a total of E13. It's a very nice formal garden, lots of fine topiary in several themed areas. Unfortunately, it started to rain when we were about three-fourths through, so we rushed the ending.
We continued on to our next hotel, the 'Chateau Monrecour' in the small town St. Vincent de Cosse. It's a beautiful old chateau, fixed up as a hotel. Very picturesque and pleasant.
We had dinner at nearby 'La Petite Tonnelle' in Beynac: 2 E18 entree ;+ plat specials and E10 red wine 'Chateau de Panisseau' 2005; 'salade d'asperges vertes rofies au magret fume', 'faux filet a la chalotte', 'cuisse de canard confit'; total E46.
