The Delicious World of Bruno, Chief of Police (New York Times - July 24, 2017)

Great article about the Périgord, Martin Walker's wonderful "Bruno" books, and the wine and food of the region. I know many of us enjoy the Bruno books... I'm saving the newest one until I'm back home in a few weeks!

Thanks for highlighting this terrific article, Kathy. Even though I read the NY Times every day, I missed that one. Somehow that "Recommended for you" column in the Times doesn't seem to find the stories I'm most interested in!

Mike and I just finished the audiobook of the latest Bruno, The Templars' Last Secret, and it is definitely up to the usual standard. Have you been to the Castle of Commarque? It plays a key role in the story.

Hi Roz! I've been to Commarque a couple of times and I love it. A ruined castle in a spectacular setting... very isolated, beautiful views. There's quite a walk down from the parking area, and then a lot of climbing up through the ruins and to the top of the remaining tower. Also prehistoric caves underneath!
