We got up at 7am to finish the cleaning and were on the road by 9am. It was very misty so it was a slow journey across the Pyrenees and into France.
There were also delays because of sheep...
... and cows ...
... and more cows!
We eventually got to our booked hotel in Lusignan. We had
chosen this particular establishment because it had a restaurant that
had good reviews. The Madame said that she did not have a booking for
us and that it was not possible to book there at the price I had
paid. If she told me once she told me 40 times that it was
impossible! However, she was kind enough to ring another hotel at the
other side of town - Le Chapeau Rouge - where we got a room and a
really good meal - oxtail parcels (rice paper) and fish in filo with
a lemon beurre blanc and a creamy mash and I had a rocamadour cheese
and Jim had roast peaches and ice cream. The room had lovely
decorative touches and was named Le Oiseau Bleu.
The church in Lusignan.
The view from our bedroom window.
The dining room.
Next morning for breakfast we had homemade yogurt and fruit and a croissant and coffee
from a coffee machine we could not work. It all turned out rather
expensive but good!
When we arrived at Le Chapeau Rouge I contacted hotels.com who said they would get on to the hotel so a lot of time was spent on the phone holding. Etc etc! Vouchers.
