We had a great trip down to our house in Chalabre.  We stopped overnight at the Chalet Du Foret in Vierzon, always a pleasant stay and dog friendly!

We arrived at the house with the sun shining and threw open all the windows and doors and stood looking at the snow capped Pyrenees glistening in the distance.

We walked over to the Hotel De France and were greeted with a huge welcome, kisses all round and a drink at the bar.  Good to be back.  We spent the evening catching up with their news about the village, their son Julien and  French life in general.  The meal was excellent with Didier’s usual attention to detail. Cassoulet for Ed and Steak for me.

Next the story of the first night we spent in Chalabre and just how accommodating the French can be ……
