Monday 21st Aurillac to Argentat

After last night’s somewhere restless night we want somewhere a little bit smaller and more peaceful for tonight. We decide to head north towards Bealiueu sur Dordogne. Apparently it’s extremely charming, historic, peaceful and lovely. Just what we need, from the map (which we fail to consult properly) it’s also on the way to where we need to be tomorrow (Brive La Gaillarde). So. Turns out it’s not really on the way at all, they don’t let Camper Vans in the village and yet the want to charge you €5 to stay the night, which doesn’t even include hook up. We sail on past. Sucks boo to Bealieu. 
We cruise on to Argentat. Argentat is the best place in the world it turns out. It’s beautiful, you can steal the wifi from the local hotel if you park close enough, (i.e right outside the front door, sorry Mister manager person) it’s free to park, it’s got a river with ducklings and everything and the pizza place is YUMMY. We love Argentat.


After an afternoon of admin and wifi and stuff we treat ourselves to a long quay side walk and some ‘ventures and ‘sploring. It’s really beautiful here. We lock the Norman Pet and Moo Sulky in Valerie and go out for a dinner. We feel like grown ups who have snuck out on the kids. It’s bliss.


We weave gently back to Valerie and fall asleep to the gentle clack of petanque boules from the pitch next door. Um… why are they playing in the dark…? We fall asleep before we can answer… sleepy happy folks.
