Chalus and Segur le Chateau

---

so we set off to see Richard the Lionhearts entrails ! Which are reputedly buried at Chateau de Chalus-Chabrol. We had visited before but it had been closed, today we were lucky. Richard was killed here in 1199. The castle was very interesting - an old painting - the original fountain - the gardens are yet to be restored. The castle has been used as a farmhouse. In the chapel remain is a sculpture to commemorate Richards 800 year old event - the king lying on his death bed !

Lunch was taken at Segur le Chateau, a very picturesque medieval town - probably one of France’s Most picturesque villages. Loved the tiny sculptures of a man and woman on the window ledges !
