Thursday 26th June- A visit to Gannat

Gannat town

Normally I do the blog the day after however as we are leaving early tomorrow

morning I have decided to do it early and so will have to do this afternoon whatever we write now.

However, this morning we took a walk around the old town of Gannat and took a few photos. We sat in the Church square and had a coffee and cognac and watched the world pass by. This part of the Auvergne appears to be completely unspoilt by tourism, as far as we can see. In Ebreuil there don’t seem to be any Brits living here and 99.9 per cent of the population is very much local.this afternoon we spent by the river watching the new arrivals put up tents, manoeuvre caravans all over the place and read a book.

Last night we watched a film called ‘The perfect Storm’ we were both quite seasick after watching the film and I don’t think Noel will ever do a cruise particularly across the Atlantic.

Anyway, back to today and tonight is the Salmon which I am sure will be excellent.

Next update will be on Saturday.
