St Lo is about 25 miles away from Vire so it did not take long to get here. Today is a public holiday in France so nowhere is open apart from the odd bar/tabac and boulanger. St. Lo was almost completely destroyed in WW2 so is obviously a modern place but very pleasing nevertheless. It still has some remains of city walls and ramparts which we walked around. Have booked into the Mercure Hotel which at 96€ is not a bargain as the room is pretty small. Took a baguette lunch along the river and then returned to the hotel to update the blog and rest.
In the evening walked into town to check out a restaurant mentioned in the Rough Guide but it was closed so we walked down to the Cinema complex where there were two restaurants, one a baked potato place and after much debate this was where we ate. As to be expected it was not gourmet fare but filling, so we did not starve.
