After breakfast which also wasn’t cheap for a couple of croissants and a yogurt we only had about 100 miles to go to our next Hotel in a historic town called Uzerche. So we used all the non-motorway routes going north and some of the roads going through the countryside were really quite beautiful.
We had
bought some sandwiches for lunch and found a convenient stop and although we
tried to find an open café its Sunday in France and most things close so a
sandwich it is.
We arrived
in Uzerche and we new that the Hotel Joyet De Maubec (http://hotel-joyet-maubec.com/en/)
was at the top of the town and the
SatNav said left and right with the streets getting narrower and narrower
almost to point of having to bring in the wing mirrors. Clearly whoever
designed and built this lovely old town did not consider at some later stage an
idiot with a bloody big Land Cruiser would want to visit and drive through roads.
However we came to the Hotel and it’s a really lovely place and so artfully
decorated and so well kept with an amazing view over some of the old town.
Whoops its Sunday Evening and so the restaurant was closed, keep forgetting
this about France, but they gave us the names of two open restaurants and a
pizza place which we decided to try. Apparently it was under new management but
they were inundated with friends and others trying it out and so the service
was rather to slow and we had to jockey them up a couple of times but
eventually the pizzas arrived and they were almost OK
Back in the
Hotel we sat in the reception lounge area reading and listening to music until
the eyes started to close down and so off the bed.
This is a Hotel
we shall try to return to at some stage in the future and the two guys who run
have great choice and monitor everything.
