Parc naturel régional Périgord Limousin

My dad's friend owns a really cool karting circuit in Pageas, a few kilometres from Chalus where I grew up in France.
They are both hunters.  I know this is not everyone's cup of tea, but a lot of people from that generation in rural France do like hunting, fishing, fetching mushrooms.
There are woodlands all around the karting circuit.  My dad and his friend have built some platforms in the trees, and from mid-October to mid-November they go there every morning to shoot migrating birds.  Those ones are some sort of wood pigeons going from Eastern Europe / Russia to North Africa.
I did my own shooting that morning... with my camera!  The sunrise was spectacular with some nice pink colours and mist in the valley.
This was an epic sunset!

We are back in rural France, in the middle of nowhere, and at the lakes where I spent most of my summer holidays as a kid.

This was my grand-parents' property and my parents look after the place nowadays.  I do not get to go there more than once a year, but it always fills me with amazing memories every time I get the opportunity to visit.

PS - you can see my dad fishing in the centre in the frame.
PSS - talking about fishing, we have big carps (like 20+ Kg!) in the lake and we have mostly people from the UK and Netherlands pay to come angling (no kill).  They either camp on the site, or rent the small chalet we have there.  If you are interested, ping me :-)
Another one from that morning with my dad waiting for the migrating birds.
We stayed overnight in this beautiful chateau, the only guests of the lovely owners. As we were shown around the various wings of the chateau - some of which were in ruins - so many eras of history were unveiled.
Meteorite impact site from 207 million years ago.  One of the 15 largest meteorites to ever hit the Earth.  Although the meteorite itself was dissolved on impact, these impactites were made when the local rocks were super-heated. Visit the nearby château (which is now an art museum) and the meteorite history walk. There is also a small meteorite museum in town that is well worth a look.
