One week away – life is slowing down deliciously. Did some washing at Laverette then returned for Continental petit dejeuner at the Hotel. Had a look at the map and decided to go to Chartres for a look at the Cathedral. Chartres itself looks pristine if a little modern in the centre. Parked underground in massive car park. The Cathedral is impressive but is being renovated so had some scaffolding inside and out. The renovated bits are wonderful, light and translucent. Drove back and had siesta.
Not easy to find a place to eat in France on a Monday – everything shuts down. However the Pizza Plus restaurant on the square was open and we had a surprisingly nice meal. Chicken wings and pizza for Jane and goats cheese salad and potato,mushroom and bacon omelette for Tony. Waitresses nice charming – helping us with our French and us helping them with their English.
