A short journey today, just 23km to St. Flour. This is another place built on a volcanic outcrop high above the countryside. A bigger place than Murat but just as steep and narrow. From a choice of 4 hotels we have decided to stay at La Maison des Planchettes which used to be a seminary which has been converted. It is very charming, quiet echoing corridors. Our room has all mod cons and overlooks lovely countryside. Ambled around the town looking for places of interest, including somewhere to eat later on. Had lunch in the local park next to a travelling fair.
As usual, on a Monday, nowhere opens for evening meals so had to partake of the hospitality of the Grand Hotel d’Europe. Meal OK with a panoramic view just like the one from our hotel room. We had the joy of watching a group of Germans translating from German to English and then into French to understand and order their dinner. Donner and blitzen!
