Excellent meal last night, cooked by le patron, and served by his wife, ably assisted by Isaac the Cat.
So, what to do with the day? Not a lot of enthusiasm for biking initially, so a leisurely walk in a loop through the countryside around the hotel.
An idyllic location, beside a bridge over a wooded gorge - someone has built a house in a nice spot!
John shares some quality time with the locals, who are probably hoping he's got something tasty - too bad!
Jimmy taking in the view across the valley towards Auzelles - it would have been better if there'd been a cafe there, but since there wasn't...
When lunchhunger started to really bite, we were forced to make a trip to Issoires, minus John the Elder who didn't fancy it, to obtain some picnic materiel. The guys at the auberge had already gone out so we couldn't cadge off them!
Anyway, made it back with a pile of baguettes, pate, cheese, tomatoes and so on. By this time, Le Patron had returned so we were able to enjoy a beer as well! Perfect. Obviously a serious matter!!
