Dordogne, France

These pictures are from our next stop in Dordogne region, where we went for canoe ride, but we also picked some mushrooms and saw some butterflies.
Following picks are from Le Puy Mary, the mountain is 1787 m. It is in hilly area in the middle south part of France.
The weather that day  did not allow us to see very far, but it was still pretty amazing experience.
I can recommend to anyone, especially to try local dish with regional cheese after you made it to the peak. It tastes great.
One of our last days of our La douce France trip we made a 4,5 hour walk around the lake in Montigny en Morvan country side.
It was beatiful weather and we found some pretty green creatures (grasshoppers) on the way.

Where else can you see how butterflies are born (not to mention the incubator for parrots and quail)? And so many butterflies in one place, flying to the accompaniment of music!

Preparation for the meeting with butterflies is almost a ritual. First of all, you’ll see (and every time surprisingly!) a lot of other exotics – parrots, flamingos, jaguars, turtles and so on.

Then you will pass through the greenhouse with orchids, where smells merge with the background music in there. Then you will float by the Indian raft in the silence of a cozy canyon. Then, in a vest and fins, you will go with the stream of underwater river. Then you will find yourself in the world of corals and fishes.  And the last attraction is butterflies!
