I have a five year old copy of the AA Illustrative Guide to France, which has a section on Perigord & Quercy that I've scanned so anyone interested can take a look at the area near Motocamp.

There are 14 pages and you may just spot a small X mark to estimate the location of Motocamp on 3 of the maps.

Pages 3/4 are an area NW of Motocamp
Pages 5/6 are another area NW but close by Motocamp
Pages 7/8 are the immediate vicinity
Pages 9/10 are an area just to the East of Motocamp
Pages 11/12 are the area SW of Motocamp
Pages 13/14 are an area SE but some way from Motocamp

Hopefully you can see them all here - RTT09 region info

Enjoy

If it's having such an effect I think I better change it, how's the new one?
