Thursday 1st June 2017- A nice day in Le Lot

We awoke to the sun burning down and went and had breakfast in the lounge overlooking Saint Cirq. Usual French breakfast of croissants, orange juice and a few other goodies.

We then went on a brief photo shooting trip around the area as it’s so beautiful here and the Lot Valley in the sun with all the pleasure boats is a pleasure to behold. We crossed the river at Vers and then drove through the hills to St Cirq and took some photos on the way down the hill. We stopped by the Hotel for a few minutes and then drove along the Lot Valley to Carjac where there used to be a nice casual restaurant by the river and overlooking the bridge but it was closed or not there anymore, perhaps its only open in the height of the tourist season. Then by some chance we spotted a restaurant we had frequented several times

before which is owned by a couple where the husband did his training in the Novotel in Leeds and there he met a Russian lady and got married and then came back to open this excellent restaurant. So we enjoyed a meal in the courtyard and suddenly the weather changed and we had a heavy shower but continued sitting under the extra-large parasols. A lovely lunch indeed.

A quick trip to the supermarket for some evening tea of Smoked salmon and baguette, which we later ate on our little balcony area overlooking the town of St Cirq and the vineyards.

This was followed by a short walk around the Hotel property and then some reading and Blogging..

A very pleasant day indeed with no food challenges for Noel.
