Sunday 20th April Lac de Neuvic to Aurillac via Ussel and Bort les Orgues

We leave with heavy hearts. The decision is helped by the slightly cooler weather. This lake side location is unreal. We honestly, perhaps ignorantly weren’t aware that places so remote and devoid of human life existed in Northern  Europe. We urge anyone reading this to visit this place if you can.

We have earmarked a stopover in Sornac, but it’s Route Barre so we head to Meynac instead, just near Ussel. After so much wild camping and isolation, not to mention consumption of all liquid and food on board we need a town to stock up, feed the van all its necessary life aids and connect to the outside World. 

Sadly Meynac is not what we hoped so we decide to zoom on to Bort Les Orgues, which is bigged up in the (fictional) book of knowledge. Borg is also not that place. Pretty, but the Campervan area is rather unappealing after we have been so spoilt. After a Coffee and and a vain attempt to buy bread from 3 Boulangeries (easter Sunday disaster) we give up and head towards the largest place on the map nearby: Aurillac.
