Stopped briefly at Carrefour for lunch items on way out of La Chatre. Had vague plan to stay at Gueret but it turned out to be a big industrial town with not much appeal. Drove a bit further on to Ahun – a small village with a market in full swing. Only one Hotel – Le Lion D’Or with a room for 36€. This will do nicely. Drove down to next village, Moutier d’Ahun and ate by the side of the river next to an old bridge. Delightful spot – watched fisherman catch two fish and various other people lunching, reading and painting – idyllic.
Spent some of the afternoon trying to get access to the internet. Gave up so then explored Ahun. Five minutes later ! sat down for a pression and a jus d’orange and went to look for somewhere to eat. Hobson’s choice, Le Sarrasin, a creperie. Had a lovely time – never judge a book by its cover. Salad plus two galettes with one crepe for pudding and some ice cream. Lots of wine and water. 35€. The restaurant even had an old pinball machine. Left at 9.15 and went back to the Lion D’Or.
