Up at 7.30 and set off at 8.00. Weather cloudy and wet! A majestic drive through les volcans –huge conical hills with flat tops and outrageous depths into the valleys. Tortuous driving but worth it. Stopped briefly for a break at St. Eulalie then onward to Aubenas at 10.45 and booked into the Hotel Cevenol – very basic but it has private parking. Run by ancient old lady and her mother!
Had a walk round and saw loads of restaurants open for lunch but they had all disappeared come time for the evening meal. Thank god there is always a pizza place open. Le Duguesclin (must see what this means). Meal OK every table taken and it had a fantastic panoramic view over the volcanoes. Jane picked the wine and managed to choose one at 14 ½ %.
The main road was closed this evening – causing chaos to all the local drivers – it had been blocked off for some sort of modelling shoot.
