Wednesday 8th June- Heading to Perigueux

We left Cognac around ten am and heaed back to Angouleme and then round the outskirts but missing the Le Farge factory somehow and then of in the direction of Perigueux  and the journey was not really very long and even going down small country roads we arrived at the site at around 12.45 and by 1.30 we were all set up and ready for some shopping as the fridge was looking a little bare.
We located a large Carrefour supermarket and picked up some food and wine for the next few days but got stuck for a while in the traffic which we thought was due to an early rush hour home but it turned out to be a three car collision with two cars blocking the road. We can assume it must have only just happened as there was no ambulance although the police were having fun controlling the traffic, hence our delayed return to the site.
We had decided to try the site restaurant which we did after picking up emails etc and the food was very good and they are really trying here and there seems looks of work going on here to improve the site which is always encouraging. Jennifer had the rabbit ad Noel the Pork and both dishes were very filling and so NO desert was needed or required.
A nice evening was had and then back to the van where we discovered that the WIFI was reaching our van about hundred yards from its location.
