Figerac to Grealou 20.2kms (279kms) 590m up

We are doing two shorter stages now and so may recover a little. Stocked up with a salad and cheese roll and a tartetteeach we walked along the river before starting a long uphill.

There was a squashed frog on the road!

Our guidebook once again said no cafes etc. So we will pretend we didn't stop at these two.
We arrived at our Gite at about 2pm and relaxed over a beer.

Then did our washing. Dinner was interesting!

Saint Privat D'Allier to Saugues

20.3kms (44.9) 728m up  Today was a hard day in the office. But a lovely office. We walked up for about an hour out of Saint Privat then down 300m to a pretty riverside village then up for the rest of the day.  It was also a beautiful walk. Mostly in forests and on easy dirt tracks or quiet country roads. We got sweeping valley views. l We then walked up for about 4 hrs before turning down for the last kilometre. Our rest was at a chamber d'hote(a bed and breakfast). We shared dinner and breakfast with three french couples, also walking, who had better english than our french.

Madam then served us sliced cucumber. There was much conversation in French. I believe it was mostly about the production and virtues of their organic vegetables. It may have included an order of dishes, but for us it was a mystery. Monsieur had left to tend his sausages on the bbq. When we had all finished our 🥒, couscous was served and then a mushroom 🍄 dish a bit like stroganoff. Our sausage arrived about now also. Once everyone had finished we were all served lettuce, then a plate of wrapped Rocamodor Cheese discs about the diameter of a golf ball but 1cm thick. As an afterthought a basket of sliced bread was added. Once the 🥬 was finished.We were served a rather delicious raspberry creme desert in small glasses. It had taken a couple of hours but we were fed well. After a good night...
