Cholet -26 October 2019
What do you when you’re on your way home, go to Decathlon,of course! Bit of diesel and gpl and a walk around a lake very close to Cholet.
Chiché via Parthenay
Decided to visit the historic town of Parthenay once the drizzle stopped (that hadn’t been forecast). Moved on to a quiet carpark at Chiché for the night.
Échiré
Kay drove for under an hour to the aire at Échiré, just moving to try and avoid most of the rain in the general direction of St Malo.
Celles-sur-Belles
Late start today as it was raining and not much incentive to get up. Made it to Melle and had a good wander around the town and churches in brightening skies. Overnighting just down the road at Celles-sur-Belle.
Civray
Red phone box, are we in the UK, no Civray in the Charente!
Dirac
Tintin drove to Dirac on a misty morning but turned out sunny in the end. With no rain due we rode into Angoulême for a look around. A pleasant ride although Google maps took us on some dirt tracks coming back.
Condat-sur-Vézère
Exciting day today, not! Kay drove through the country to Condat-sur-Vézère but the highlight was that we watched half an hour of a football match, the town were 3-0 up when we left.
Salignac-Eyvigues
Waited for the rain to stop wander around the town. Tintin drove through the country to Salignac-Eyvigues.
Rocamadour
Had a wander around the old town in Cahors this morning once the rain had eased off. Kay drove to Rocamadour on some small winding roads at the end. We’ll leave the town visit until tomorrow.
Cahors
We gave ours friends a lift back to pick up their car from Castelsarrasin, tried to pick up some spares from a Mobilvetta dealer outside Montauban and then moved on to Cahors.
Grisolles
We were meeting up with friends on their canal boat, they were coming from the north and us from the south. Pizza it is tonight.
