Where in the World is Carmen San Diego???

Some have asked where in France was the region we visited, so we thought we'd provide a map of france and send you on a wild goose chase and test your knowledge of french geography. Ready.

Here are your clues.
We were north of the Pyrenees.
We were two hours east of Bordeaux
We were just (10 minutes) west of Sarlat Le Caneda (this is the easiest clue! just teasing)
We were three hours east of the Atlantic
and six hours northwest of the closest Mediterranean beach.

Where were we?

The region is known as Le Perigord Noir (pronounced perry-gore noir). Noir for black, because the region has so much granite and truffles. There are five regions of the perigord, noir, blanc, rouge, vert and pourpre, each have there specialities, ours being prehistory, castles, and foie gras. We'd all recommend visiting sometime!
